Our very first TinyUTM’s prototype in late 2024 was aimed at reproducing the open-source FreeLoader’s work by Amend, McNicoll and Lipson, 2011, University of Colombia, paper reference: “FreeLoader: An Open Source Universal Testing Machine for High-Throughput Experimentation“, ASME IDETC/CIE Conference, Washington, DC, 2011. Other than tensile tests of non-metal and/or additively manufactured specimens, we wanted to try the recent small punch test for metals, all within a 3kN load capacity instead of their 5kN.
