This year, the Sheffield Formula Racing team from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Sheffield is sharpening its competitive edge, by working with Proto Labs.

This international competition, run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, attracts students from around the world. The competition challenges students to demonstrate their technical, engineering design, and manufacturing skills – and learn important lessons in working as a team, time and project management, budgeting and presentation. The overall aim is to develop enterprising young engineers, and encourage more people to choose engineering as a career.

By partnering with Proto Labs, the SFR team have been able to develop cost effective, practical designs, which can be easily manufactured. Resulting in a really exciting entry to Formula Racing 2017.
