Senvol Indexes™
Pedigreed additive manufacturing data sets
Senvol Indexes™ provide instantaneous access to additive manufacturing data sets that would otherwise take months to develop.
All for a fraction of the price.
Senvol Indexes™ are data sets for additive manufacturing material characterization. All Senvol Indexes™ include:
Test Specimen Properties
Material properties of test specimens that were made on a specific additive manufacturing machine
Process Parameters
Values of the process parameters that were used to achieve those material properties
Feedstock Properties
Properties of the specific feedstock used
Senvol Indexes™ Testing
The specific tests conducted and quantity of specimens tested for each Senvol Index™ vary. All Senvol Indexes™ typically include various mechanical, fatigue, thermal, and physical property test values. Examples include:
Tensile
(ASTM E8)
Compression
(ASTM E9)
High Cycle Fatigue
(ASTM E466)
Density
(ASTM B311)
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
(ASTM E831)
Hardness
(ASTM E18)
Chemistry
(Various)
Metallographic
(ASTM E112/E3)
All Senvol Indexes™ leverage Senvol’s industry-leading expertise in additive manufacturing data to ensure that results are:
- Traceable: The entire process (including setup, parameters, build, and testing procedures) is fully documented
- Statistically Significant: The number of specimens generated and tests conducted provide statistically significant data
- Standards-Conforming: All work (where applicable) strictly adheres to relevant industry standards (e.g. ASTM)
- High-Fidelity: Senvol exclusively uses certified and accredited facilities (e.g. AS9100, NADCAP, A2LA)
- Neutral: Senvol develops all Senvol Indexes™ entirely on its own accord with no involvement from machine or material OEMs
