In the absence of such identification, NIST will assume to have unlimited rights to all technical data in the information paper. �Equipment Requirements The printer must have a light engine capable of 60 mm or better resolution. The printer light engine must allow for adjustable intensity of the LED or laser.� This adjustable intensity must fall in a range of approximately 2 mW/cm3 � 8 mW/cm3 to accommodate varying solids loading or optical properties of the suspended ceramic particles.� The build plate must be capable of providing 25 mm or better resolution in the z-direction. The printer must have a build volume of 1000 cm3 or less The printer must have a resin vat with the ability to control the resin temperature. The printer must be supplied with a resin that can be used in custom formulations and is capable of suspending highly loaded ceramic particles. The printer must be capable of printing resins that consist of custom NIST made formulations of high-volume fractions of ceramic particles. The printer will not meet requirements if it can only print proprietary ceramic/resin mixtures. Interested parties shall describe the capabilities of their organization as it relates to the item described above. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses. The small business size standard associated with the NAICS code for this e?ort, 333248- Printer machinery, 3D, manufacturing with a small business size of 750 employees.
