BRAND NAME SPECIFICATION:

The 3D Systems ProX 800 SLA printer, , can manufacture real parts that cannot be manufactured using other methods available in the Machine Shop .

Factors include the required part itself, turnaround time needed, or simply uniqueness. The ProX 800�s Material Delivery Module (MDM) manages all of the subsystems related to the print material (aka resin) and can hold up to

109.3 U.S. gallons of resin. The SLA printer was specifically set up to use Accura ClearVue resin based on the types of parts the Machine Shop was producing. Accura ClearVue resin is a high clarity transparent resin that simulates the material properties of polycarbonate plastic. Use of another material would require the purchase and storage of a second MDM.

Therefore, it is in the best interests of the Government to solicit this requirement on a brand name basis.

RESELLERS:

Per the 3D Systems website, an �extensive global partner network� exists, however, multiple attempts to contact the company have gone unanswered.
