Short 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.
