About Materium

Materium is an iOS material identifier app that brings visual analysis, material learning and a personal scan library together.

From a photo to a material story

Take or choose a photo and explore its likely materials. Materium considers visible patterns, surface finish, construction and object context, then organises its assessment into a readable report. A deeper stage adds material information and related research insights as the report becomes available.

Wood, fabrics, metals, plastics and other everyday surfaces offer plenty to explore. Save scans in your library, revisit material entries and build a collection that reflects what you notice in the world.

A structured approach to discovery

Materium distinguishes visible observations from inferred details and connects recognised material names with consistent catalogue entries. Patent insights offer research directions related to an object’s form, function and construction. Read how Materium builds a material report for an overview of the approach.

Photo analysis provides informed estimates. Pair the result with labels or manufacturer information when you need a product-specific composition, and use the appropriate technical documentation or testing for safety-critical decisions.

For curious people and material-minded projects

Build design references, study fabrics and surfaces, explore familiar packaging or document the materials around you. The material notebook provides practical guides with linked reading sources to support that learning.
