Additive Manufacturing (AM) Powder Blown System

Statement of Work

1. Scope

1.1. Purpose

The primary purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to identify the requirements for the AM Powder Blown System to be installed at NAWCAD Lakehurst, NJ. The AM Powder Blown System will to allow the Navy to move beyond the two primary technologies that have been focused on up until this time (Powder Bed/DMLS based technology & Wire Fed based technology). In addition, this technology will allow the Navy to development of repair capabilities that can be expanded across multiple projects and fold into the Enterprise Qualification / Certification Solutions needed to operationalize additive manufacturing solutions. This requirement also includes logistics support for the system including training and maintenance.
