MML develops scalable materials and structures for minimizing vehicle weight and enabling multifunctionality. Through understanding fundamental trades between materials' architecture, properties, and economic processing, we can extend currently accepted materials to new engineering performance. Our microlattice fabrication technique enables new ultralight and energy absorbing materials that can be made quickly (under 1 minute per part) and at scale (> m2). We also develop fundamentally new multimaterial structures with engineered capabilities such as structural morphing and actively or passively tuned responsive structures. We enable scalable automotive and aerospace component manufacturing by extending capabilities of commercially available, scalable 3D-integration methods to include novel engineering-relevant materials.
