Unique Insights
Delve deeper into your studies on the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties.
Rapid, Simple Testing
Minimal sample preparation and rapid testing turnaround times significantly accelerate your research activities.
Rich Datasets
Fully characterise the strength of your metallic materials to support the design of new alloy systems.
Testing Versatility
Test small coupons, big coupons, off-cuts, cubes, cylinders, random shapes and real components.
We are a team of scientists, just like you!
We understand the importance of experimental test equipment and the role it can play in ground-breaking research. We're here to help.
“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”

Papers on Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP)
This investigation concerns the application of the profilometry-based indentationplastometry (PIP) methodology to obtain stress-strain relationships for material in the vicinity of fusion welds.
This investigation concerns the application of profilometry-based indentation plastometry (PIP) to metals with very high hardness, i.e., those with yield stresses of 1.5–3 GPa.
This is a review paper covering Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP), a novel method for rapidly inferring stress/strain curves from indentation test data.
Training Courses and Conferences
We design and deliver bespoke technical courses and we organise and host conferences covering key areas in materials science, mechanics and mechanical testing. Courses are delivered in Cambridge, by our team of world leading materials scientists. See below for upcoming events.
The team and I have a long history of working together on advanced, materials-related research projects. We're committed to continuing this tradition here at Plastometrex, and to supporting other materials scientists with our technical outreach work, our training courses and our conferences.
