We have extensive experience of performing third party benchmarking throughout the Aerospace and Defense industry.

Third party benchmarking from Lucideon helps you assess how your components and materials perform against competitors. Having evidence to determine how your product performs against the market leader enables you to get one step ahead of your competition.

We can benchmark against areas such as:

• Functionality
• Durability
• Quality.

We won't only show you how your product stands against the competition, we'll help you to optimize it.

Third Party Benchmarking for Additive Manufacturing

Our cross-functional expertise within additive manufacturing enable us to characterize your materials and components against the competition.

Whether you are evaluating powder suppliers, developing build parameters or optimizing post-processing conditions - we provide testing and evaluation resources, coupled with value added engineering knowledge of the additive manufacturing process, to deliver an independent assessment of the the quality of your materials.

We are increasingly hearing from clients that internal resources, both time and equipment, are the primary bottleneck in their additive manufacturing development activities. Allow Lucideon to accelerate these developments through comprehensive oversight of your benchmarking programs in order to deliver results in week and months - not years.
