Application Areas of i3D® Technology
i3D® testing enables mechanical materials analysis directly on components and samples—fast, spatially resolved, and low-damage. It is used in research, quality assurance, and series production.
Plastic properties: yield strength and tensile strength
Fastest testing: 1 measurement point in 72 seconds
Fully automated measurement of 200+ points possible
Standard-compliant per DIN & ASTM (coming soon), currently DIN SPEC 4864

QA application →More on the benefits: cost optimization
i3D® testing provides a cost-effective alternative to conventional tensile testing—ideal as a fast, internal QA measure.
Cost drivers in tensile tests
Elaborate specimen preparation, high machine costs, time-consuming procedures.
i3D® added value
Testing directly on the component, no machining, faster workflows, lower unit costs.
Use in QA
Ideal for in-process testing, supplier evaluations, and internal approvals.
