Materials Testing and Properties
Basic to Advanced Materials Testing Equipment for Teaching
The materials testing and properties products offer a wide range of teaching equipment to demonstrate key materials properties; they cover Hooke's Law and Young's modulus associated with elastic properties, and stress/strain analysis. For more advanced learning, experiments available progress to hardness testing, complex analysis of stress and strain, testing specimens to destruction and various apparatus for learning about material fatigue.
The range also extends into the area of structures and structural elements, providing supplementary products to our complete modular Structures range.

Featured Products
DefleX® Speckling Kit
SPK1 - Ancillary
A comprehensive set of tools and ink to easily apply an effective speckle pattern to a range of surfaces for use with the DefleX® DIC systems.
DefleX® Starter Kit
DSK1 - Experiment
A simple system for introducing students to the concept of digital image correlation (DIC)
DefleX®-2D
DefleX-2D - Experiment
Entry-level DIC System for Education, Making Materials Come Alive in the lab
DefleX®-2D is an entry-level, 2D digital image correlation (DIC) system, designed to help students visualise and understand how materials and structures behave under load. The camera and software kit tracks how surfaces stretch, bend and move – turning invisible stresses into clear, visual colour maps of strain and displacement in real time.
Ideal for material science, structures and mechanical engineering courses and labs, this compact, fully integrated teaching tool makes complex concepts easy to see and explore. DefleX®-2D provides a powerful yet simple way to visualise and analyse strains and deformations meaning students can directly compare experimental data with theoretical predictions or computer simulations, supporting a deeper blended learning experience.
DefleX®-3D
DefleX-3D - Experiment
From theory to reality - Seeing in microscopic detail
Combining theory, hands-on experimentation, visual learning, and technology evolution, DefleX®-3D is our teaching system helping students learn about 3D digital image correlation (DIC) that measures and visualises full-field surface deformations, strains and displacements.
Designed for teaching, it enables students to explore material behaviour, experimental mechanics, and design validation with real-world data. Simple to calibrate and quick to set up, using two digital cameras and image analysis software, DefleX®-3D captures surface changes in real-time or playback, enabling footage manipulation and data analysis whenever, wherever.
