The Centre is looking to continue their research and update their equipment with powder bed systems able to work with PAEK. The system must; operate at 300C, work with HT23, allow for inter-changeable hardware between the new system and the existing system P800 (such as blade geometries) and monitor and adjust cool down parameters. This procurement also includes a maintenance package that the University reserves the right to purchase, during the life time of the contract, if required.
