- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Object Geometries Inc., Billerica, MA for a 3D Polymer Printing System. A. Objet's Connex PolyJet system is the only 3D printing system known to have the ability to jet two distinct model materials in many preset combinations. These unique capabilities enable double injection products to be simulated early in the product design process, directly reducing the costs and risks associated with creating the complex molds for double or co-injection processes. B. No other manufacturer can supply a 3D printer with the following capabilities: C. All equipment must have the ability to operate as one complete system within an office environment. The selected vendor must have the knowledge to integrate the system into the existing network. D. Vendor must also have the complete knowledge of the hardware and the capability to connect and install the 3D Printer System and its components (i.e., Host Workstation, parts cleaning station, and 3D Printing System). E. All equipment must be delivered with appropriate operation manuals and installed by chosen vendor's authorized/certified "field engineer. 1. Mixed parts - Platforms printed with multiple model materials; eliminating the need to design, print and glue together separate model parts to make a complete model, leading to dramatic savings in printing and post-processing time. 2. Digital/Composite Materials - Composite materials made up of two model materials integrated in specific concentrations and structures to provide the required mechanical properties. Digital materials enable closely resembling the target product design and printing of a complete product, of virtually any complexity, in a single build process. 3. Mixed Trays - Tray of parts printed with different model materials in a single build: saves time on materials replacement and provides an answer for multiple users. Part and assembly versatility, system productivity.
