Request-for-Tenders for the Supply of an Additive/Subtractive Manufacturing Testbed for electrically, optically and thermally–activated biomaterials for NUI Galway

Description

Tenders are sought for the supply and installation of Additive/subtractive manufacturing testbed for electrically, optically and thermally – activated biomaterials. The system will consist of three connected modules. A laser micro-structuring module will create structured surfaces for microfluidics and embedded electronics. A materials additive module will use inkjet and spray tools to create structured conductive/ non-conductive surfaces. A bioprinting module will apply living cells and other life-supporting biomaterials. The integrated system will demonstrate the ability to integrate electronic, optical, and thermal stimuli in flexible medical devices.
