Plastometrex

Plastometrex is a company based in Cambridge, England, that specializes in advanced mechanical testing solutions for materials science and engineering. Founded in 2018, it focuses on developing innovative technologies to simplify mechanical testing, particularly for metallic materials. The company offers a proprietary technology called Profilometry-based Indentation Plastometry (PIP), which extracts stress-strain curves from indentation data using accelerated inverse finite element analysis. Its product lineup includes the PLX-Benchtop, a compact device for quick extraction of metal stress-strain curves; the PLX-HotStage, an add-on for high-temperature testing; and the PLX-Portable, a solution for non-destructive strength testing of metal assets. Plastometrex serves both manufacturing and academic research sectors, enhancing the understanding and application of metallic materials. The company has received endorsements from notable figures in the field and is integrating its technology into workflows at organizations like Leonardo Helicopters.
