LA3652C - RFT for the Supply, Delivery and Installation of an Advanced 3D Printing Suite (4 Lots) for Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS)

Education Procurement Service (EPS)

Lot 1: Vapour Smoothing (VS) Machine: A vapour smoothing machine is a post-processing system used to enhance the surface finish of 3D-printed parts. It works by applying controlled vapour to smooth and seal the surface, improving appearance, strength, and durability. It is commonly used to produce higher-quality, functional parts for research and small-scale production. Lot 2: High-Temperature Printer: A high-temperature printer is an industrial-grade 3D printing system designed to produce strong, functional parts from advanced engineering plastics. It is used for prototyping, research, and low-volume manufacturing of components that need to withstand high temperatures or mechanical stress, offering reliable performance and consistent quality. Lot 3: Thermo-Mechanical Analyser (TMA): A TMA is a precision laboratory instrument used to measure how materials expand, contract, or deform under controlled temperature changes and small mechanical loads. It is primarily used in research to analyse thermal properties such as expansion, softening, and glass transition across a wide range of materials, helping to understand material behaviour in different environments. Lot4: Filament Line: A filament line is a small-scale production system used to create continuous strands of material with consistent diameter. It melts and extrudes material into filament, which is then cooled and wound onto spools. It is mainly used to produce materials for applications like 3D printing and research, where uniformity and material quality are important.
