MatIQ: The easiest way tosimulation-ready material data

MatIQ is a joint initiative by NETZSCH and IANUS.

The MatIQ Advisor connects AI-assisted data completion, simulation expertise, and material measurement into a clear decision process: Are existing or AI-generated data sufficient — or is a targeted measurement advisable?

Confident decisions despite incomplete material data

Based on available property data of a material group, the material testing system accurately predicts how a new material behaves in use.

When the highest precision is required or the data basis for AI-assisted property prediction is insufficient, the MatIQ Advisor directs you straight to material measurement at NETZSCH. There you receive Proven Excellence material data within 8 weeks using standardized measurement methods.

  • Speed

    Simulation-ready material data is available to you in the shortest time – initial simulations or material screenings are possible immediately.

  • Plug and Play

    Seamless integration: A direct interface to StrömungsRaum® ensures that you can use generated material cards immediately for simulations.

Your entry into material analysis and material testing with the MatIQ Advisor

From the first data entry to a simulation-ready material card – the MatIQ Advisor automatically guides you through the entire material testing process: quickly, in a structured way, and without unnecessary coordination loops.

  1. Step 1

    Upload data

    Upload your existing material data – even when it is incomplete. The MatIQ Advisor works with what you have.

  2. Step 2

    Answer follow-up questions

    The Advisor asks you targeted follow-up questions on application scenario, temperature range, process, and simulation goal to develop a precise understanding of your requirements.

  3. Step 3

    Receive material cards

    Based on your input, MatIQ matches the information against our database and creates suitable, simulation-ready material cards.

  4. Step 4

    Decide with confidence

    A quality label transparently shows which material testing data are already reliable and where targeted follow-up measurements in the laboratory further increase process security.

Why MatIQ?

Less waiting time, less coordination effort, more decision confidence. The MatIQ Advisor captures your requirements with targeted, domain-specific questions and automatically guides you through material analysis – from the first input to the right result, whether AI data or laboratory measurement. For early simulations and material screenings, you receive a simulation-ready material card with a transparent quality level in the shortest time. For critical decisions, MatIQ clearly indicates which properties should be measured.

The system delivers initial simulation-ready material data in the shortest time – so you can start initial simulations in parallel with material measurement and gain valuable time in the development process.

Different starting points, one platform – MatIQ solves real-world challenges in practice

New materials in injection molding, but your data is thin? With MatIQ and StrömungsRaum®, you can still start material analysis and process development reliably – with few inputs, a simulation-ready material card, well-founded recommendations, and significantly fewer trial runs.
