Materials Characterization Research

Robo-Met continued its role as a robust materials characterization modality. Read up on materials characterization research featuring Robo-Met's automated material analysis in this article: "2021 Research Using Robo-Met's Materials Analysis."

Two SBIR Awards for Robo-Met

We were thrilled to be recognized for providing ground truth data in a Phase II NASA SBIR Award. For this project, our Robo-Met team will collaborate with Penn State University's Applied Research Laboratory (ARL). We will study non-destructive testing techniques in the additive manufacturing (AM) processes for component quality control and post-build inspection.

delayered leads

More recently, we were thrilled to be awarded an SBIR Phase I contract to extend Robo-Met into electronics delayering. The Defense Micro Electronics Activity commissioned this project, with challenges including the development of submicron delayering, and high fidelity imaging including, as an extended goal, SEM integration. 

Materials Conferences

We continued with a virtual TMS 2021, but  were glad to see many old and new friends at MS&T in Columbus, OH. While we would have love to talk with everyone face-to-face, we were excited to have some great conversations at our virtual and in-person booths this year! 

Robo-Met Upgrades

We announced our new Robo-Met upgrades including ZEN imaging and Windows 10 functionality. Check out the webinar here, and see why many of our customers upgraded right away. We're excited to continue to innovate and improve to help you get the insights you need to solve your materials challenges.

New Robo-Met Units and Applications

We're excited to announce that the Robo-Met family now includes NASA's Langley Advanced Research Center and Marshall Space Flight Centers, and the Fraunhofer Institute IWS in Dresden, Germany. Sandia also inducted a second Robo-Met unit, a version 3 with ZEN imaging. Watch this space as more new users discover applications!

Extended applications were outlined in our blog posts including Remote Access for Robo-Met, and  Automated etching tips and tricks.
