Design and Manufacture of a Filament Winding Capability

Location

United Kingdom: National Composites Centre, Feynman Way Central, Bristol & Bath Science Park, Emersons Green, Bristol BS16 7FS

Description

The National Composites Centre (NCC) intends to procure a filament winding capability for use in research and development in the manufacture of fibre reinforced plastic components, such as tanks and pressure vessels up to approximately 1000mm in length and 400mm in diameter.

Total Quantity or Scope

The National Composites Centre (NCC) is an independent, open-access national centre that delivers world-class innovation in the design and manufacture of composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation. As part of a wider Industrial Roadmap the NCC have identified a need to procure filament winding capability to directly support key manufacturing research and development programs. The acquired capability will extend the current state of the art, which is of value and relevance to both industrial stakeholders and overall, UK industrial output. The capability shall be specified, procured and commissioned to ensure suitability for industrial research and development programs as well as supporting maturation of emerging manufacturing technologies from academia toward industrial application. This project is funded by Innovate UK. The target commissioning date for the equipment is beginning Q1 2023, at NCC site. The operation and specified functionality of the equipment will be demonstrated based on the target application component(s) during FAT and SAT.
