Plastometrex

At Plastometrex, we help companies, research and educational institutions gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanical properties of their AM and conventionally manufactured parts and materials in a fraction of the time and cost of other testing methods. The brainchild of former University of Cambridge scientists, we combine deep materials science expertise, advanced numerical modelling, optimisation methods, and machine learning tools to create materials testing solutions for next-generation innovators. Our testing solutions are based on an underlying platform technology called Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (we like to call it "PIP"). The technique is simple, quick, and highly versatile. It enables full stress-strain curves and material strength parameters to be obtained from a single indentation test in just a few minutes.
