The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Universal Testing Systemon behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre Northwest, Heatley House, Bowran Street, Preston PR1 2UX.

The UTS will be used for testing a variety of material coupons primarily from different additive manufacturing technologies and processes.
