Biomedical with Royce at the University of Sheffield
Welcome to Royce at the University of Sheffield, one of the leading partners for the UK's national institute for advanced materials research and innovation; The Henry Royce Institute.
About our work
Our commitment to advancing healthcare technologies and driving innovation in the field makes us an ideal partner for businesses seeking to make a significant impact.
We provide a collaborative ecosystem, blending cutting-edge research, state-of-the-art facilities, and a multidisciplinary approach to address complex challenges in biomedical engineering. We invite research and development teams in the biomedical sector to join us in this dynamic environment where breakthroughs happen, and together, we can redefine the future of healthcare technology.
Situated within the esteemed University of Sheffield, our facilities offer a unique opportunity for synergy between industry, academia, and healthcare professionals. By collaborating with our world-class researchers and leveraging our advanced resources, you can be at the forefront of transformative advancements in biomedical engineering.
This is the seamless intersection between innovation and healthcare, and together, we can contribute to improving lives through cutting-edge biomedical solutions.
In the future, we believe FAST/SPS technology, systems developed with Royce at the University of Sheffield, could offer a viable route to utilise out-of-spec AM titanium powder for near net shaped biomedical parts with forged properties. This will also enable the additive manufacturing supply chain to be more sustainable and economically viable in the future.
