The Regional Sales Manager, Matt Brunsting, and his 3-year-old daughter ponder the scenario when daddy has to work from home. It turns into a delightful experience as they merge the CellScale UniVert for material measurements by compressing Play-Doh for some educational fun. Together, they delve into the realms of science and engineering at home, transforming routine workdays into thrilling learning escapades that spark curiosity and knowledge exploration.

Commencing the manufacturing process with a refined extrusion technique, meticulously crafting a 1-inch long cylindrical sample under Lena’s attentive supervision. The complex procedure demands precision and expertise, delicately shaping the material into its final form, ensuring every detail meets the highest quality standards.

The sample is carefully and precisely positioned onto the UniVert test system, a sophisticated setup designed with a focus on accuracy and reliability. This specialized system is uniquely configured to execute a compression test mode, allowing for meticulous assessment of the sample’s properties and behavior under a spectrum of pressure levels. Through this methodical testing process, a comprehensive understanding is gained regarding the sample’s reaction to varying compression forces. These in-depth insights obtained from the detailed analysis serve as a valuable foundation for subsequent research, analysis, and developmental endeavors.

Using a precision 20N load cell, specifically designed to measure force with utmost accuracy, the sample undergoes controlled compression within the sophisticated testing system. The UniVert controller, equipped with advanced technology, meticulously captures and exports comprehensive data on both Force and Displacement to seamlessly integrate with the connected software for in-depth analysis. It’s crucial to emphasize that despite its versatility across multiple applications, the UniVert system is not suitable for culinary endeavors such as pancake or burger patty preparation, given its specialized design and functionality tailored for precise scientific measurements.

Next, Matt meticulously assembles a detailed graph illustrating the intricate mechanical behavior exhibited by the samples when subjected to a range of compression rates. This thorough analysis not only delves into the complexities of the material responses but also provides a nuanced examination of the interplay between different variables, offering a comprehensive overview of the data. In doing so, it sheds light on the subtle, yet significant, variations observed under varying conditions, enriching our understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play.

Finally, after a highly productive day filled with successful meetings and innovative brainstorming sessions, the team is taking a well-deserved break. Gathered around a stylish wooden table, they enjoy a delightful spread of various artisanal cheeses, crispy crackers, fresh grapes, and a selection of gourmet dips. Laughter fills the room as they share stories and celebrate their hard work and accomplishments. Kudos to Matt and Lena for their unwavering dedication, creativity, and exceptional teamwork that have been pivotal in the team’s recent achievements! #teamwork #celebration
