About Multiscale Systems
Design and manufacture of metamaterials
Multiscale Systems is an advanced materials and manufacturing firm developing commercial applications of mechanical metamaterial technology. Instead of creating new materials through costly chemical or molecular engineering, our approach is based on embedding 3D geometric patterns into conventional materials to create new functionality. Our geometrically enhanced metamaterials are lighter, stronger, and more multifunctional than conventional materials.
Founded in 2018 and located in Worcester, MA, Multiscale Systems employs an energetic team and utilizes cutting edge scientific and engineering tools. We serve our customers by producing bespoke metamaterial products and integrating ourselves into their supply chain.
The future of manufacturing
The potential application of advanced metamaterials is massive, from aerospace to semi-trailer manufacturing. Because our solutions allow for more than one optimization to be applied, materials can be optimized for multiple priorities such as weight reduction, thermal expansion, energy absorption, aeroelasticity, insulation, conductivity, and much more.
