Material Testing
Would you like help characterizing the best materials for your application? We can provide guidance on material compatibility testing to assess compatible build materials for adhesion or break away support. Send us your filament or pellets and we can print ASTM test samples to be assessed using our materials testing equipment. Once complete, we will send you a qualitative & quantitative report on:
- Compression and Tensile testing
- 3D point bending
- Analysis on how well the material prints
- Optimal print temperature, speeds and basic profile recommendations
- Layer bonding strength

Filament Testing
Print Optimization
Print multiple test prints of increasing complexity to optimize print settings. A Simplify3D profile with optimized settings will be provided.
| $500
Material Properties
Use ASTM standards to conduct tensile, 3-point bending, or compression testing to establish material properties for industrial applications.
| $1,250
Custom Analysis
Custom tests can include multi material testing, various bed adhesives, heat treatment, or other technical tests.

Mechanical Properties
Our Admet 50kN Universal Testing System is capable of finding the mechanical properties of 3D-printed materials using standardized test procedures: Tensile (ASTM D638), Flexural (ASTM D790), Flexural Fatigue (ASTM D7774) & more upon consultation
Data Analysis
Aggregated stress data across all samples are given with average and standard deviation Stress-strain curves are given for each sample to show fracture characteristics
Experimentation
Changes in slicing parameters or utilization of post-processing techniques (annealing, sterilization, smoothing) can be compared. Null hypothesis one-tailed tests are used to determine statistical significance of claims
Failure Analysis
Test specimens can be 3D scanned at 0.025mm resolution to show deformation after testing. Fractures can be imaged with microscopy with 60x magnification
