## Description

The School of Engineering wants to lease a 3D Metal Printer for a fixed term of 3 years with the option to extend for up to an additional 2 years\. The metal printer will support world-leading research utilising new materials and printing methods and extend the capability of the 2D and 3D printing currently undertaken within the School\. Applications for metal printing can be found in aerospace, defence, automotive, healthcare, and many other industries and will lead to revolutionary new medical, electronic, mechanical, optical, acoustic, heat transfer, and sensing devices being designed and manufactured\. This is due to the many advantages, including design flexibility, product customisation, and minimisation of material waste, that printing offers over subtractive manufacturing\. The use of Additive Manufacturing \(AM\) means that geometries are no longer constrained to the limited base stock that components are traditionally machined from\.
