6NAPSE Group

6NAPSE Group is a French group of testing laboratories and engineering offices. It helps industry develop, qualify and improve products. It uses its own laboratories and test centres. The group offers simulation, testing, engineering and materials expertise.

Customers can buy help at different levels. They can order a single analysis or test. They can also sign a full study contract, where several experts work together on a whole industrial project. Offers include work package products, standard services, custom expertise and outsourced research and development.

In simulation, the design office covers a product from sizing to results. It prepares geometry, builds meshes and finite element models, and checks the results. It then gives advice. The list includes multiphysics, acoustic, CFD, crash and impact, structure, dynamic, fatigue, seismic, thermal, thermomechanical and vibration simulation. It also does design calculations.

The testing side covers environmental, ingress protection, chemical resistance, vibration, acoustic, mechanical fatigue, mechanical resistance and EMC tests. The group can also write a validation plan for a product.

In engineering, 6NAPSE measures and studies vibration and noise. It tests the mechanical and sound properties of materials. It also designs power electronics, validates prototypes, and produces CAD designs and 3D models.

The materials team does chemical and physico-chemical analysis. It checks for particles, nanoparticles, substances, heavy metals and elemental impurities. It looks into failures and corrosion, and runs metal, composite, polymer, glass and powder analysis. It also tests for microbes and fine particles in the air.

The group works with many industries. These include aeronautics and aerospace, defence, automotive, electric batteries, energy, marine, medical devices, pharmaceutical, packaging, luxury goods and sports products. The company has pages for technical means, quality and certifications, and customer reviews.
