Plastometrex re-imagines metal mechanical testing by enabling scientists and engineers to quickly and non-destructively obtain accurate stress-strain curves with ease.
All Plastometrex products use PIP (Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry), our proprietary technology honed over 15 years of prior research by former Cambridge materials scientists. PIP extracts stress-strain curves from simple indentation data using accelerated inverse finite element analysis.
Measure stress-strain curves and metal strength parameters in minutes, non-destructively.
Simple sample prep, user-friendly software, and automated testing at the click of a button.
Accurate and reproducible mechanical properties for metallic samples of all sizes, and spatial mapping across parts or welds.
With PIP (Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry), you get all the benefits of tensile and hardness testing in one, with none of the limitations.

Compact and easy to use, the PLX-Benchtop extracts metal stress-strain curves in just a few minutes from small and irregular specimens, and maps properties across parts or welds.
An add-on module to the PLX-Benchtop that generates stress-strain curves at temperatures up to 800 °C in minutes.
Extract metal asset yield and tensile strength quickly, reliably, and non-destructively, with industry-leading accuracy.
