This would allow experimentation, feasibility, proof of concept and small prototype volume build. As part of the package assembly research and development methodology, we require a ceramic 3D printer and post processing ovens to fabricate ceramic materials, capable of producing items suited to high temperature use. The printer shall allow CSA Catapult to create ceramic prototypes of arbitrary size and shape, ranging from 1 - 100 mm in length, particularly 40 x 70 x 100 as a minimum acceptable build volume. We are also interested in multi material capability allowing a minimum of two materials to be printed and form a solid (green / uncured) model. The parts created will be used functionally, so repeatability, dimensional consistency and process reliability are paramount. The estimated value of the contract is £500,000 to £650,000 including all options and extensions. The system will be installed at the CSA Catapult Innovation Centre in 2021.
