MicroSTAMP
The project MicroSTAMP was a 2023 winner of the PREMATURATION call for projects, led by the Innovation Lab of IP Paris.
THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED
Pattern application by stamps on material surfaces for strain measurements by image analysis for mechanical testing
Speckles made with spray paint are user dependent, difficult to control and to reproduce
Control the pattern according to the test and structure
The team has an expertise in characterizing and modeling the mechanical behavior of materials
TECHNOLOGY
Soft material stamps with controlled designed patterns
User-centered designed applicator
To apply patterns on material surfaces for digital image correlation or marks tracking techniques for strain field measurements
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Control pattern design in size, shape, and density
Pattern reproducibility
Pattern diameter as small as 180 microns
Fully customizable stamps size up to 120 mm x 60 mm
Ergonomically designed, user-friendly applicator
Easy, fast and safe to apply
