MML is pioneering high-strength, scalable, engineering-relevant feedstock materials for net-shape and 3D-printed metal and ceramic parts. MML has pioneered the scalable use of nanoparticle functionalization to spatially control composition and metallic microstructure to increase strength through control of solidification dynamics and a deep understanding of the relevant metallurgical processes. In addition, we have developed printable pre-ceramic polymers which produce high temperature ceramic materials in complex net shapes. MML seeks to bring these benefits to the part- and vehicle-scale through control and prediction of a material's structure across multiple length scales and manufacturing processes. Benefits include reduced vehicle mass, cost, volume, energy, part count, and fabrication or repair time.
