About us

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.

    Applications are now open for next year’s Undergraduate Internship Scheme, inviting Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to apply for funding undergraduate internship projects at their home institutions. Applications are open to all UK HEIs and the successfully awarded funding will be used to support interns within university core facilities, departments or academic groups between June and September 2025. The support applies to researchers to host an undergraduate student currently enrolled at the same UK HEI to work on a project related to materials science and engineering. Students must be between their penultimate and final year of study. Students could also be moving between the third and fourth years of an integrated master’s course. Applications for the 2025 Royce Undergraduate Internship Scheme will close at 23:59 on 20th January 2025. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eyvefmdn

    Business and Research Engagement Lead - Advanced Metal Processing | Henry Royce Institute

    Having a brilliant time hopping over to Frankfurt to go to Formnext 2024. Great to catch up with some of our longtime collaborators in AM as well as international partners in powder metallurgy. Really impressed by the range of technologies on show - highlights so far include seeing Wayland Additive 's Calibur3 and talking with Aconity3D GmbH how we rapidly prototype novel alloy compositions on their AconityMini at Royce at the University of Sheffield Great to learn more about TUM.Additive and their approach to directing research in AM across material classes. Particularly enjoyed catching up with Dr. Yingwei (Kylee) Wu now at Additive Manufacturing at Fraunhofer ILT and seeing The University of Sheffield 's additive manufacturing expertise on display with a copper printed Aerospike engine designed, optimised and built between LEAP 71 ,UoS, ILT and Aconity. Also thrilled to see my pub quiz pal Wills Bloom hard work in action at the launch of Sheffield's own Fyous polymorphic molding platform. Credit to the team getting their #MadeInSheffield tech out there. A great show and advertisement for additive technologies and hope to be back with the Royce team in the future! #additive #metals #manufacturing #CollaborateToInnovate #materials Formnext - Where ideas take shape
