Tender description

The University requires a metal-powder 3D-printing system based on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology. The proposed LPBF platform will strengthen NTU’s research capabilities, support regional business partnerships, and enable the University to provide enhanced external services to SMEs and collaborators. It will also complement and maximise the value of NTU’s existing advanced characterisation, aerothermal, and mechanical testing infrastructure, creating an integrated capability for the design, manufacture, characterisation, and validation of high-performance metal components.
