## About this tender

2494/005/CW/CYMRU/20 Polymer Material Jetting 3D Printer

The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Polymer Material Jetting 3D Printer on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Wales), Chester Road, Bretton, CH4 0DH.

Scope of Requirement:

The AMRC Cyrmu site has been awarded grant funding to setup a centre for Sustainable packaging within the food and drink sector. The deliverables of this project are to create facilities to enable the development of new processes and facilitate innovative smart designs. Polymer material jetting 3D printing technology has been identified to fulfil the requirements as it potentially allows for the printing of multi-material and multi-colour parts including transparent materials. Through mixing of material graded materials with different mechanical properties can be produced. Furthermore this technology will be used to create casting patterns and tools for batch injection moulding.

This specification is aimed at purchasing equipment for use in the AMRC Wales research applications. It is expected that suppliers will provide long term support for the equipment including application engineering, programming and software upgrades.

The purchase of the technology also keeps with the ethos of putting the AMRC at the forefront of technology innovation within the manufacturing sector.
