Additive manufacturing (3D printing) has evolved from rapid prototyping to producing functional, load-bearing parts across industries. As adoption grows, so does the need for reliable, repeatable mechanical testing to ensure performance and compliance.
A one-day introduction to the fundamentals of materials testing. This course covers mechanical properties, test types, stress-strain curves, modulus, and yield — with live demonstrations of tensile, compressive, flexural, and peel testing on computerized instruments. By the end of the day, students will be able to interpret test curves, calculate key results, and apply good testing procedures across common test types.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is rapidly moving into functional industrial applications. Explore the impact in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical industries.
A one-day hands-on course for new Bluehill Universal users. Working with a certified Instron instructor, students work through a series of guided projects covering test method development, calculations, results setup, data export, and reporting. By the end of the course, students will be able to build, save, and run their own test methods and streamline their lab workflow using Bluehill best practices.
A one-day advanced course for experienced Bluehill® Universal users. Building on core test method skills, students work with a certified Instron instructor through hands-on projects covering Expression Builder, calculation and graphical domains, virtual measurements, custom transducer setup, Instron Connect, and software security configuration. Designed for users who want to take full control of their testing environment and administrative settings.
A one-day hands-on course focused on Bluehill Universal's TestProfiler feature. Working with a certified Instron instructor, students design and build their own profiler tests through realistic lab-based projects covering waveform creation, load and strain control, segment-specific results, actions and events, and domain expressions. Designed for users who need to build complex, multi-stage test sequences tailored to the specific demands of their laboratory.
