Description

The National Composites Centre (NCC) is ran a multi-Lot tender for the procurement of a suite of composite tools for an aerospace project. The two Lots available were:

- ITT_1261: Forming Tool (Tender)

The NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a forming manufacturing process using dry fibre non-crimp fabric (NCF) of a complex aerospace component. The component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick. It is expected that process development will be carried out on the same tooling for a smaller component.

- ITT_1263: RTM Tool (Tender)

The NCC require the design, manufacture and supply of a tool for a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) manufacturing process of two complex Thermoset composite aerospace components. The first component is approximately 6000mm x 750mm and up to 20mm thick, and the second at 1500mm x 650mm and up to 20mm thick. The smaller component is a shorter version of the main component and will be used to develop and prove out the full-scale manufacturing process and tooling concept.

PLEASE NOTE: ITT_1261 (Forming Tool) has not been awarded, due to budget restrictions and revisions in the technical requirements not yet fully defined.
