Additive Manufacturing and 3D Scanning

This tender concerns the procurement of equipment for additive manufacturing and 3D scanning, intended for the Iberian Research Center for Energy Storage (Centro Ibérico de Investigación de Almacenamiento Energético). The objective is to equip the center with advanced technological tools that will support its research and development activities in the field of energy storage.

Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, involves the creation of three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology offers significant advantages in prototyping, custom part production, and the development of complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. The specific requirements for the additive manufacturing equipment are expected to cover various materials and printing technologies to cater to a wide range of applications within energy storage research, potentially including the fabrication of components for batteries, fuel cells, or other energy storage systems.

Similarly, 3D scanning technology is crucial for capturing the precise geometry of existing objects or environments, creating digital models that can be used for reverse engineering, quality control, inspection, or integration with additive manufacturing processes. The acquired 3D scanners will likely need to offer high accuracy and resolution to meet the demanding standards of scientific research.

The procurement is aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Iberian Research Center for Energy Storage, a collaborative initiative focused on advancing scientific knowledge and technological innovation in energy storage solutions. The successful bidder will be responsible for supplying, and potentially installing and commissioning, the specified equipment, ensuring it meets the technical specifications and operational requirements of the research center.

This is a supplies contract in the information and communication technology, Research and trade and industry sectors, with a focus on Hardware, Research Institutions and Industrial Machinery. Located in Spain, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 52,236.
