Combat Capabilities Development Command – Armaments Center (CCDC-AC), Detonation Physics & Experimental Research Branch (DP&ERB) is looking to procure (1) one 3D printer. The Government requires integrated multimodal, multi-material additive (e.g. fused filament fabrication) and subtractive (e.g. CNC milling) hybrid manufacturing capability to support rapid prototyping and on-demand, custom test fixture production.

The demand for these highly-engineered consumable items is significant to support OPTEMPO and in-house agile manufacturing capability is required for maximum operational efficient and flexibility.
