Why i3D^® Technology?

i3D^® rethinks mechanical materials testing—especially where conventional tensile testing reaches its limits. Instead of preparing elaborate standard specimens, i3D^® enables direct strength testing on the real component—low-damage, precise and fast. With fully automated multi-sample screening, more than 500 stress–strain curves can be captured in a short time—first results are often available within a minute.

A key advantage: locally resolved testing of mechanical properties makes it possible to capture strength gradients, e.g. in heat-affected zones, surface layers or additively manufactured structures with targeted work hardening. This makes i3D^® ideal for research, development and production monitoring.

By eliminating time-consuming specimen preparation, fixtures and machine changeovers, costs are significantly reduced—without compromising on insight or accuracy. i3D^® brings new efficiency to materials characterization—right where you need it.
