Plastometrex Ltd. is a private company that specializes in novel mechanical testing techniques for metal plasticity measurements and is based in Cambridge, UK.

History
The company was founded in 2018 by a group of material scientists out of a decade of research at Cambridge University. Here they developed their Profilometry bases Indentation Plastometry (PIP) technique for the mechanical testing of metals.

In 2020 the company closed their seed investment round with Element Materials Technology which allowed them to launch their first benchtop product, the Plastometer at the end of that year. Followed by a successful first year of growth and sales in both the academic and industrial sectors.

Developments
The company is expanding on their PIP technique by developing different implementations of the same technique. Such as a portable version and a module that allows for high-temperature testing.
