Description
The National Composites Centre (NCC) is an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and rapid manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation.
Out-of-autoclave (OoA) manufacturing has established itself as a way to process next-generation composite structures, and is seen to be a crucial area for development. In this context, the NCC has identified a need to procure a suite of equipment, to provide a Large Scale Capability to directly support key Aerospace and other sectors such as Automotive, Marine and Oil and Gas research and development programs. This procurement is for a composite curing oven capable of producing aero structures up to 20 metres in length to directly support key manufacturing research and development programs.
The capability shall be specified, procured and commissioned to ensure suitability for industrial research and development programs as well as supporting maturation of emerging manufacturing technologies from academia toward industrial application.
The NCC is seeking to procure a turnkey solution for a Large Scale Oven capable of curing and supporting the infusion of composite components of up to circa 20m x 5m x 2.5m. Temperature range from 40°C to 250°C, with integrated vacuum system and a comprehensive data acquisition capability.
Full Specifications and details are within the tender pack located on the University of Bristol Tender Portal.
