The Henry Royce Institute at the University of Sheffield is part of the University’s global-leading Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The University is a founding partner of the Henry Royce Institute – the UK’s national centre for research and innovation of advanced materials. Our knowledge and experience in the field of powder metallurgy means we are best placed to lead on the Institute’s theme of Advanced Metals Processing, but we also have significant expertise in the other Royce themes of Biomedical Materials and Nuclear Materials. Supported by our global leading academics and engineers, Royce@Sheffield offers state-of-the-art facilities for research and development into advanced materials development and manufacturing - all in one place. Our unique range of industrial grade machines are capable of delivering research activities that span Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) one to six. We collaborate with local, regional and national businesses, sharing our knowledge to enable them to take product and process ideas from initial concept, through development, testing and optimisation to the point where they are ready to be trialled by industry. While we can facilitate end-to-end research activities, enterprises wishing to access particular equipment or services can work with us at any stage in the process.
