Tender Details

Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its Dual-Material for Two-photon Printing for High-resolution, Multi-material 3D Structure Manufacturing.
Background:
Commercial TPP systems generally utilize single femtosecond laser beams (typically 800 nm wavelength). The use of a single femtosecond laser at a fixed wavelength presents certain limitations in photochemistry for materials and resolution capabilities. Introducing a dual-wavelength, two laser TPP system with tunable wavelengths and advanced beam shaping can significantly enhance the controllability and availability of different photo-chemistries for multi-material printing with higher resolution. The challenge then is designing a single vat TPP printing formulation which takes advantage of the dual-wavelength, two laser TPP system. Optimizing the chemistries to allow for two different polymer resin mixtures to be combined which interact independently of each other at each of the different wavelengths used is an especially challenging task.
Description:
LLNL researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization multimaterial resin formulation consisting of two reactively distinct polymer systems. The first system consists of a liquid, optically clear, epoxy resin which undergoes polymerization via type I photoacid generator (PAG) with a photo absorber at 700 nm while the second part is an acrylic system with a customized high cross-section photoinitiator with a high absorption at 700nm and 1045nm. By combining both polymer resin formulations into a single vat and using a custom two laser, dual wavelength TPP printer system, LLNL researchers can print complex structures. They are able to print structures where the walls of...
