Core capability

Miniaturized Mechanical Testing

Testing in-service components is essential to understand failure. Miniaturised testing allows site-specific characterisation — vital to comprehend material behaviour under thermal and mechanical stresses during manufacturing. Additive manufacturing also demands this because of its inherent microstructural variability.

In-Situ Testing

In-situ characterisation augments the information obtained because it is carried out under real-time loading conditions. The vital data collected is essential for identifying failure mechanisms and allows material manufacturers to design better materials. Particularly powerful for measuring single crystal elastic constants — challenging and expensive to determine by any other method.

Why go smaller

Advantages of Miniaturised Testing

Numbers don't lie. Here's what switching to miniature specimens actually delivers.

70%

Reduction in Material Cost

Miniature specimens require a fraction of the raw material. Critical for expensive alloys, AM metals, and rare ceramics where every gram counts.

60%

Reduction in Sample Preparation Time

Less material to machine means faster turnaround. More specimens per batch, faster design iteration, quicker time-to-insight.

Seamless Integration with Characterisation Equipment

Compact fixture fits directly on XRD goniometers, Raman stages, and optical microscopes — mechanical and structural characterisation simultaneously.

90%

Saving in Printing Time & Cost for AM

Additive manufacturing is expensive. Miniature specimens reduce printing time and cost by up to 90% — making iterative process qualification feasible.
