24-089 TT - Powder-based laser directed energy deposition additive manufacturing and 3D scan

The Multi-scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) Laboratory at the University of Waterloo plans to acquire an advanced integrated powder-based laser directed energy deposition (LDED) system, along with a compatible 3D scanner. These state-of-the-art systems will be essential for cutting-edge research and development projects, carried out in collaboration with highly esteemed industrial partners. The systems will support a variety of applications, pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing technologies.
Given the strategic importance of this acquisition, the University places significant emphasis on both the quality of the equipment and the reputation of the vendor. It is essential that the vendor has a proven track record of delivering reliable, high-performance systems that align with the University's research objectives. The MSAM Laboratory requires the integrated system to be delivered no later than six months after the purchase order is issued, ensuring that ongoing and future research initiatives are not delayed.
Vendors capable of meeting these requirements will be prioritized, as the University seeks to establish a long-term, productive relationship with a trusted supplier.
