The US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service in Albany Ca has a need for a commercially available FDM printer wich characteristics listed below.
-Large build size of at least 14x12x12in.
-Ability to print ABS, polycarbonate, and nylon.
-Easily removable support structure for printing overhangs and steep angles.
-Ability to print various infill percentages.

Alternate system to the Stratasys as presented below will be considered on an or equal basis to the following:
3D Fused Deposition Modeling (FDMl Printer Salient Characteristics
• System must be new
• Color LCD Monitor
• Maximum Machine size: 34"W X 28"D X 64"H
• Minimum printing/build envelope 14" X 12" X 12".
• Utilizes an enclosed build chamber with heat. Helps the materials form together which increases accuracy
• Minimum of 2 material bays (1 model/ 1 support)
• Capability to print/build layers in range from .005" - .013" for high resolution depending on material
• Produce parts within an accuracy of± .127 mm (± .005 in.) or± .0015 mm/mm (± .0015 in/in),Whichever is greater.
• Soluble support structure system for steep angles or overhangs depending on material used during the build.
• Includes ultrasonic system to remove soluble support structure after printing/build completion
o Minimum chamber size must match minimum print/build envelope
• Utilizes textured plastic build platforms to prevent part from lifting during the print process
• Ability to print in solid fill, sparse high density, or sparse low density interior infill
• Utilizes exchangeable extrusion tips in print head
• Includes onboard calibration capability
• Utilizes sealed material cartridges
• Capable of printing the following materials:
