We make customizable advanced materials
Mechanical Metamaterials
Advanced materials without chemistry
Instead of creating new materials through costly chemical or molecular engineering, our approach is smarter. The geometric patterning of mechanical metamaterials unlocks new potential from common base materials, and our customers avoid the trade-offs associated with conventional material selection.
No more trade-offs
Multi-objective optimization
Several beneficial characteristics can be applied to a single mechanical metamaterial product. Our customers select their desirable material properties from a customizable menu of enhancements.
Our expanding line of advanced material solutions include MetaCORE, MetaCORE-LD, and MetaTHERM, with each line offering its own base properties. Start by choosing the one that best matches your requirements, and then customize to fit your needs.
MetaCORE
Energy Absorbing
MetaCORE is a lightweight, impact absorbing metamaterial. Optimized for Crush Force Efficiency and Specific Energy Absorption, its uses span a variety of markets including transportation, electric vehicles, aerospace, and defense.
MetaCORE-LD
Lightweighting
Derived from the innovations of MetaCORE, MetaCORE-LD is a structural panel product optimized for lightweighting in the transportation market. Applications include semi-trailer paneling, urban air mobility vehicles, and electric vehicles.
MetaTHERM
Extreme Environments
MetaTHERM is prioritized for thermal expansion and holding extreme pressure differentials. In geothermal drilling, where the downhole environment is destructive to conventional materials, it mitigates costly equipment failure due to extreme conditions.
Benefits
