"Since adopting PIP testing, we’ve changed our teaching of mechanical deformation quite considerably. PIP provides an opportunity to really get students thinking deeply by drawing out different aspects of plasticity and allowing them to apply their knowledge to real materials. The addition of the PLX-Benchtop has therefore been a real advantage."

"I’ve found that PIP testing has really helped me to understand the fundamentals of mechanical deformation. It’s been especially helpful for helping me to identify the nature of materials in some of our more advanced projects."

"There are several advantages to the PLX-Benchtop machine in an educational environment, one being that you can very quickly get students up and running, conducting their own tests on real materials, with very little intervention. It’s incredibly simple to use, the training required is minimal, as is the sample preparation."
