Notice Title

Additive Manufacturing Technology Demonstration In Tungsten Mock-Up Development

Notice Description

The purpose of this RFII is to have a better understanding of the marketing capabilities of additive manufacturing that currently exist. The two dominant types within the scope of our interests are powder bed fusion methods such as laser beam (PBF-LB) and electron beam (PBF-EB). The main objective is to find out supplier's unique capabilities to produce parts with complex structures out of tungsten with high print quality. These parts will be intended to be used in material testing, with potential application as plasma-facing component of a tokamak fusion reactor.
