II.1.4) Short description
1802/345/MY/AMRC/17 3D Printers x 3 Lots
The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for 3D Printers x 3 Lots on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, Design and Prototyping Group at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.
Scope of Requirement:
The Design and Prototyping Group (DPG) operate a site wide Free Access 3D printing scheme, open to all AMRC employees. Free Access enables 3D printing design and process knowledge to spread throughout the AMRC triggering increased use cases. Backed by user data, the success of the scheme has lead to an increase in demand for equipment.
The 3 Lots are required to meet increased demand, provide scope for scheme expansion, and also replace worn equipment. The machines will be used to provide 3D printed components in an expanded range of materials to all research projects across the AMRC.
II.1.6) Information about lots
This contract is divided into lots:
Yes
II.1.7) Total value of the procurement

II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Scope of Requirement:
The Design and Prototyping Group (DPG) operate a site wide Free Access 3D printing scheme, open to all AMRC employees. Free Access enables 3D printing design and process knowledge to spread throughout the AMRC triggering increased use cases. Backed by user data, the success of the scheme has lead to an increase in demand for equipment.
This specification is aimed at purchasing equipment for use in AMRC research applications. It is expected that suppliers will provide long term support for the equipment including application engineering, programming and software upgrades.
The printer should process at least 2 differing quantified thermoplastics with the addition of supporting material and at least 4 differing fibre reinforcing materials. Capability to reduce print time to a minimum is desirable. The equipment should be low maintenance. The machine should have full network capability coupled with an advanced cloud based software interface suitable for both processing, management, and reporting of cell activity.
