INNOVATE FASTER WITH TAILORED RESEARCH AND TESTING SOLUTIONS
Unlock breakthrough ideas with our cutting-edge expertise, facilities, and technologies. From R&D to post-market validation, our expert team delivers rigorous, customized solutions to meet your unique needs and accelerate your development journey.
Our main services
FIBEr is a leading provider of biomechanical testing services, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions to support your product development and testing needs.
R&D consultancy & project management
Our expert team guides you through every stage of your biomechanical R&D, from defining objectives and designing studies to handling logistics, planning, budgeting, scheduling, and execution.
Design and development of testing protocols & set-ups
We design and implement standard (according to ISO or ASTM standards) or customized testing protocols to meet your specific needs. Our protocols are based on the latest scientific research and industry best practices. If needed, we design and develop customized set-ups to meet your unique requirements.
Human and animal samples harvesting
We harvest human and animal samples for your experiments. We have experience with a variety of sample types and can ensure that your samples are handled properly and taking all ethical guidelines into account. Evidently, we can also test the samples you provide.
Mechanical testing of biomaterials, tissues or medical devices
We offer comprehensive mechanical testing services for a wide range of biomaterials, including biological tissues, and medical devices (e.g. orthopedic implants, cardiovascular stents).
Microstructural imaging & computational modelling
We analyze the internal structure of your material using advanced imaging techniques. We can develop and use computational models, such as Finite Element Models (FEM), to simulate biomechanical processes or to study the mechanical behavior of your application under various loading conditions.
Data processing, analysis and reporting
We collect, process, and analyze data from your experiments. We have a team of data analysts who can use a variety of statistical and analytical methods to help you make sense of your results. We prepare comprehensive reports that summarize the findings of your experiments.

Types of testing
-
Tensile/extension testing: to measure the material's resistance to pulling forces.
-
Compression testing: to measure the material's resistance to pushing forces.
-
Torsion testing: to evaluate a material's ability to resist twisting forces.
-
Flexural testing: to determine a material's behavior under bending loads.
-
Shear testing: to measure the material's resistance to deformation by a sliding force.
-
Indentation testing: Analyzes a material's surface hardness and resistance to pushing forces, especially for objects which do not have a flat surface.
-
Quasi-static testing: testing a lower velocity to mimic (quasi-)static loading conditions.
-
Dynamic testing: testing at high velocity to mimic for example high impact scenarios.
-
Fatigue testing: to assess a material's performance under repeated loading.
-
Creep testing: to evaluate a material's tendency to deform under constant force over time.

Understanding Your Needs
We start with a discovery meeting to explore your goals, project requirements, and budget. Together, we identify opportunities and address concerns. An NDA may be signed to protect your confidential information.
2
Tailored Proposal
Based on our discussion, we create a proposal with clear details on services, timelines, costs, and our expertise. Upon agreement, we finalize a service contract.
3
Pilot Testing (Phase 1)
If needed, we conduct a small-scale test to evaluate feasibility and align expectations. Results are reviewed before moving forward.
4
Full Testing & Reporting (phase 2)
We carry out comprehensive testing, analyze the data, and prepare a detailed report tailored to your needs, including documentation or publication support. A final meeting ensures all deliverables are shared.
