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.

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.
Scope of Requirement:
