TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: True Silicone DLP Printing Platform

Solicitation # S-133734

The True Silicone DLP Printing Platform enables the fabrication of high-purity silicone parts with complex geometries using standard desktop DLP printers, bypassing the need for expensive extrusion-based systems. Unlike conventional silicone alternatives that rely on carbon-based linkages and metal catalysts, this technology produces true silicone with a continuous silicon-oxygen polymer backbone, eliminating aging issues and chemical instability while ensuring biocompatibility and regulatory ease. The process involves a custom resin combining a light-curable acrylic scaffold with a siloxane component; during printing, the acrylic locks the shape layer by layer, and subsequent heating and solvent washing remove the scaffold, leaving behind a porous, pure-silicone structure with tunable mechanical properties and open porosity that can be further functionalized with conductive or active materials. This method supports high throughput through full-layer photopolymerization, delivering faster production than extrusion techniques, and is compatible with widely available, low-cost 3D printing hardware. The platform’s scaffold-and-wash strategy is broadly applicable, offering a template for printing other challenging materials, and its outputs are suited for high-demand applications in medical devices, soft robotics, microfluidics, aerospace seals, optics, and consumer goods. Developed to TRL 4, the technology is protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,939,415 and is available for licensing through Los Alamos National Laboratory, with opportunities for exclusive or non-exclusive agreements to companies seeking to commercialize this innovation.

AI Contract Overview

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University under the Department of Energy, seeks a fixed-price subcontract for a high-precision fiber-coupled, non-contact optical displacement measurement system. The solicitation requires a device with three synchronized displacement channels, capable of single-digit picometer resolution, operating inside and outside vacuum conditions, with fiber optics and interchangeable sensor heads. The system must measure targets up to 5 meters away with measurement bandwidths reaching tens of MHz. Included in the deliverables are a software package featuring advanced data visualization and signal processing tools, sensor heads suitable for both vacuum and ambient environments, and vacuum feedthroughs capable of withstanding bakeouts at 150°C. The quote requested is for product only; no on-site services are allowed, and price plus lead-time will be the primary selection criteria with responses due by March 31, 2026. Subcontractors must comply with federal requirements such as the Buy American Act for orders above $15,000, complete the required representations and certifications valid for one year, and register in the System for Award Management (SAM). E-Verify enrollment proof is mandatory within 30 days post-award. The contract incorporates SLAC’s Fixed Price Commercial Supplies and Services Terms and Conditions (August 2023), with payment terms of NET-30 and freight terms varying for domestic (FOB destination) and foreign (CIP SLAC, duty unpaid) suppliers. Offerors are encouraged to include the Harmonized Tariff Schedule code and state any applicable institutional discounts. Proprietary information in proposals must be clearly marked. The solicitation was also posted on SAM.gov, and questions may be directed to SLAC procurement contacts.
