Build Your LabINDUSTRIAL SOVEREIGNTY STARTS IN THE LAB.
A single organization or an entire nation that can’t qualify its own hardware doesn’t fully own its industry. The ASTRO Deployable Lab puts material, process and part qualification inside your factory, on your soil and under your control.
Use Our ServicesTHE FASTEST PATH TO THE LAUNCHPAD.
Certified mechanical and metallurgical testing for critical applications, advanced materials and novel manufacturing methodologies. Quick-turn, data-driven qualification from coupon to full system integration.
WHAT EACH SIDE DELIVERSDEPLOYABLE AM QUALIFICATION LAB
A turnkey qualification lab installed inside your production facility and run by cobots. The standard core covers parameter-development builds, tensile and fatigue testing, automated metallographic prep and metallurgical analysis, and dimensional inspection. X-ray CT and powder characterization are available as modular add-ons. Every lab connects to the ASTRO evidence network, and engineers in Los Angeles review and sign off the results.
Material qualification, process qualification and part conformance at the point of manufacture
Built on NASA-STD-6030 and ASTM F42 practice, adapted to OEM requirements
Each coupon, build and test is recorded as traceable qualification evidence
Taking orders for deployment as soon as 2027
TESTING SERVICES: AVAILABLE NOW
Mechanical and metallurgical testing for AM and conventionally processed metals and polymers, from cryogenic to elevated temperatures.
Tensile at ambient, elevated and cryogenic temperatures
High-cycle (load-controlled) and low-cycle (strain-controlled) fatigue
Compression, bend, Charpy impact and hardness
Metallography, porosity, grain size, surface roughness
Powder characterization
Specimen machining, wire EDM, finishing and thermal cycling
Test matrices designed for specific materials to a hardware's proposed limit
