"Plastometrex’s novel testing technology enables us to optimise our AM materials with much less material and in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. This transformative testing technology will play an important role in supporting the continued adoption of AM."

"Because it’s so much quicker, I now go to PIP as a first stop for high-temperature testing rather than tensile."

"It is a wonderful and unique tool that allows for the rapid mechanical characterization of metallic materials without the need to machine tensile samples. User-friendly software is another favourite aspect of mine.”

The Henry Royce Institute - small regions of materials
“PIP gives us the opportunity to test small regions of material with varied microstructure, giving us the ability to quantify some of the development work we’ve done on process control. It gives us substantial data to see whether that’s been successful and how it might be wielded in a real-world application.”

"Having the Indentation Plastometer allows us to significantly reduce the sample size required, not only saving time and material resources, but allowing us to generate mechanical data which we have yet to see on our materials."
