Build Your Lab

INDUSTRIAL SOVEREIGNTY STARTS IN THE LAB.

A 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.

WHAT EACH SIDE DELIVERS

DEPLOYABLE 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
