September 21 2015 - 8:46PM
- Extends access to federal and state government agencies,
universities and labs
- Leverages GSA's brand new "3D Printing" schedule for discounted
pricing on all goods and services
- One-stop shop for 3DS' printers, software, 3D scanners and
Quickparts cloud-based manufacturing services
3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) announced today that its 3D design-to-print
goods and services are being offered through the General Services
Administration (GSA) Schedules program. Through the GSA Schedules
program, government agencies access product catalogs with
pre-negotiated rates to expedite purchasing, accounting for nearly
$50 billion a year in spending or 10 percent of overall federal
procurement spending.
This addition of 3DS' full portfolio coincides with the GSA's
announcement that it has created a 3D Printing Solutions catalog
for agency customers—federal, state and local—to procure additive
manufacturing products, services, and materials. According to
GSA, this "Multiple Award Schedule" (MAS 36, SIN 51-400) will
support reduced lead times, inventory control, improved mission
readiness and sustainability.
"GSA is focused on being the standard bearer for 3D
Printing/Additive Manufacturing by developing a total solution
approach for all federal agencies requiring this technology," said
Walter Johnson, a GSA/Federal Acquisition Service Contract
specialist. "The total solution approach GSA is designing will
provide a wide range of 3D printing technology, consumable
materials, ancillary equipment, imaging devices, software, and
rapid prototyping services. We are excited to have Phillips bring
3D Systems and their expansive portfolio to this program."
Implemented via a 20-year GSA contract with 3DS' partner
Phillips Corporation Federal Division, these listings will provide
for the first time a single inventory for government agencies to
purchase 3DS' unparalleled range of end-to-end 3D products, from 3D
printers to software, scanners, materials and cloud-based
manufacturing services.
"The GSA has incomparable reach across the country," said Neal
Orringer, Vice President of Alliances & Partnerships,
3DS. "Since its founding 66 years ago, the GSA has been
pivotal to ensuring the government customer receives critical
products at the best taxpayer value. Today, we are proud to support
this legacy in a uniquely 21st century fashion—extending our
digital thread to every federal agency and in every state in the
nation."
"From the United States Congress' Architect of the Capitol to
the National Institutes of Health, and from NASA to the Armed
Forces, our customers receive outstanding service," said Ron
Schulze, President, Phillips Federal. "But this new GSA
listing offers something even more—access to the most cutting edge
3D design and fabrication tools. We are truly proud to offer 3D
Systems' suite of products to America's public servants."
In addition to individual 3D printer hardware and software, GSA
will host a new 3D printing and manufacturing portal providing
government customers access to 3DS' cloud-based manufacturing
services, Quickparts. From the portal, government customers can
upload CAD designed files for instant price quotes for customized
rapid prototyping, production, and investment casting.
3DS' full line of products and services are now available on the
GSA schedule through Phillips Federal, including:
- Industrial ProXTM printers, including Stereolithography,
Selective Laser Sintering and Direct Metal Printing;
- ProJet® printers, including ColorJet and MultiJet
technology;
- Cube® and Cube Pro® desktop 3D printers;
- Geomagic® scanners and capture, design and inspection software;
and
- QuickParts GSA portal for on-demand parts modeling,
functional prototypes and production parts.
