Additive Manufacturing Analysis

Luvak provides accredited elemental and interstitial analysis for additive manufacturing, from feedstock powders to finished printed parts. As an ISO/IEC 17025 and Nadcap accredited laboratory with more than 50 years in materials testing, we help AM producers confirm that powder and parts meet composition and cleanliness requirements.

What We Test for Additive Manufacturing

Metal Powders & Feedstock

Composition and interstitial content.

Printed Parts

Composition verification of finished components.

Interstitial Elements

Oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which strongly affect AM part quality.

Powder Lifecycle Monitoring

Track composition across reuse.
