Testing and
Material Characterization

Material characterization is a crucial step to ensure quality, reliability, and repeatability in production processes.
It helps to define design standards and enables accurate control of finished products. Our laboratory performs mechanical, physical, and thermal tests on a wide range of materials, advanced equipment and qualified personnel.
This allows us to support both clients and the R&D department in the development, validation, and optimization of solutions, reducing risk and improving final performance.

Innovation
in Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing allows the production of light and resistant components thanks to the use of TPMS cells, lattice structures that behave like homogeneous metamaterials.
ADD-ASTRA has developed a method to design them using advanced software, capable of analyzing material responses under various stresses. This approach optimizes the physical and structural properties of selected materials, improving efficiency, weight-to-strength ratio, and heat exchange, with cross-sector applications in industrial and technological fields.

ADD-ASTRA, with its innovative services, combines the potential of technologies and materials.

Advanced industrial applications of components produced through additive technologies are still limited by the lack of proper qualification of raw materials and printing technologies.

ADD-ASTRA focuses is on polymeric and metallic materials for FDM, SLS, and SLM technologies with the aim of meeting the demands of major players in the aerospace, oil&gas, medical, and motorsport sectors.
