Aminpro Add-in

The Aminpro Add-in for Microsoft Excel™ was developed for internal use by Aminpro staff to facilitate our work. We are now making this tool freely available to the public for non-commercial use.

The Add-in provides a number of functions for analyzing metallurgical data. For more information, you can download the Aminpro Add-in manual.
