Industrial Materials Engineering & Process Intelligence
Material Expertise. Process Stability. Data-Driven Transfer to Series Production.
MaterialMinds combines materials science, industrial process understanding, and structured data analysis.
We support companies across DACH and internationally in development projects, failure analysis, feasibility studies, and the structured transfer of technical solutions into robust series production.
Our consulting combines materials science, advanced characterization
methods, and manufacturing expertise to identify root causes and develop
practical solutions that can be implemented from lab to production.
What we solve
Technical Competence with Industrial Structure
We act as an external engineering partner for companies that:
Outsource development projects
Require root-cause analysis of material or process failures
Need feasibility validation for new technologies
Intend to structure or scale their R&D processes
Require data-based decision support for management or investors
Our work integrates material characterization, process expertise, and norm-oriented methodology.
Materials & Characterization Expertise
Light- Microscopy
SEM
Testing
Understanding material behavior is the foundation of process reliability and product performance.
Through an accredited partner network, testing and measurement processes are performed in alignment with the requirements of DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Core Methods
SEM / EDS analysis
Metallography & microstructure characterization
Hardness and tensile testing
Fracture surface analysis
Porosity detection and quantification
Mechanical and thermal evaluation
Measurement is not an add-on — it is the basis for decision-making.
