The brief

The University of Sunderland seek to procure a Large format 3D printer utilising Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)/Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process capable of printing part in a variety of materials that must include but not limited to PLA and PVA.

Additional materials such as TPU, Nylon and Polycarbonate would be an advantage. o The print volume should measure at least 1.0m x 1.0m x 0.5m and must be possible to be delivered through a doorway 118cm wide and 198cm high. o Due to the size of the print bed an auto levelling system is essential. o The bed must be heated to facilitate good bed adhesion and reduce warping during print runs. o Network connection via Ethernet is essential. o Must have two separate filament extruders.

Nozzles should be swappable and offer a variety of sizes up to at least 2mm.

As this printer will be used to print large objects, it is essential that the extruder has a high output capable of at least 30mm3/S. o Minimum layer height should be 50 microns. o Software for processing the CAD data into the suitable print file and for control of any associated processes must be supplied and included in the proposal.
