Solicitation N3904023Q0194 Questions & Answers

Is the end product plastic or rubber? To make a tool you must know the shrinkage factor of the material you will mold with the tool.

The end product is rubber. The drawing the shipyard has provided is the mold we need manufactured to mold the rubber gasket we need. The shrinkage rate is already factored into the dimensions on the drawing. We need it manufactured to the dimensions on the drawing provided.

Do you have any pictures of and existing mold we can review?

We do not. The provided drawing is the closest thing we can provide to a picture.

Would we be allowed to come onsite to 3D Scan the Mold to create a CAD file that can be used to manufacture the mold since there are no CAD files available?

No, because the mold no longer exists.

Can we use an alternative material to manufacture the mold?

Any spec of steel is acceptable
