## Description
With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield has established a flagship national Translation Energy Research Centre (TERC) - a multitechnology, integrated platform for research, development and innovation at pilot-scale, to understand and demonstrate green energy solutions for a secure, affordable and sustainable energy system. It is one of the largest and best-equipped research and development facilities in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, CCUS and combustion. The centre has a range of novel pilot scale technologies and is continuously evolving to meet industrial research requirements. Often there is a need to design and manufacture proptypes, jigs, parts and tools quickly and effectively in order to react to the needs of the research programme. Therefore, the operational team is exploring the use of 3D printing technologies to support these activities.
