This Statement of Work outlines NASA MSFC's requirements for procuring two furnaces - a de-binding furnace and a sintering furnace - for their ceramic additive manufacturing system. The furnaces are needed to process printed ceramic parts through de-binding and sintering processes to achieve fully dense ceramic components meeting desired material performance specifications.

The technical specifications require both furnaces to be custom programmable with 25 program counts, 500 program segments, and internal heated volumes of 16x16x16 inches. The de-binding furnace must operate from room temperature to 1125°C with nitrogen atmosphere, while the sintering furnace must reach 1700°C and use air atmosphere. Both furnaces must be UL 508 compliant and feature double-wall construction with carbon steel inner and stainless steel outer walls. The de-binding furnace requires a chiller with 7,510 BTU/hr heat rejection capacity. The vendor must have demonstrated experience with thermal cycles for additively manufactured ceramics and provide support for materials including alumina and zirconia. Payment terms are 40% down payment and 60% upon delivery and training.
