American manufacturing is battling a two-headed challenge: supply chain vulnerabilities and climate change. At AtoMe, we are revolutionizing materials science to tackle these issues head-on. Through advanced nanotechnology and scalable manufacturing techniques, we are setting new benchmarks in industries such as defense, aerospace, and renewable energy.
Our Vision
AtoMe leverages cutting-edge research from MIT to create high-performance nanocomposites designed specifically for additive manufacturing. By integrating ceramic nanoparticles into metallic materials, we enhance their properties, lower production costs, and reduce environmental impact.
Applications and Market Focus
- Supply Chain Resilience: Reducing reliance on foreign imports by manufacturing advanced materials domestically.
- Climate Action: Lightweight, high-strength materials that improve energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
The U.S. materials sector, valued at approximately $1.5 trillion as of January 2025, encompasses a wide range of industries. Despite this substantial market size, the U.S. continues to import more than half of its raw materials, underscoring the critical need for more efficient domestic material usage and the advancement of manufacturing technologies to address resource limitations.
AtoMe operates a B2B model, collaborating with leaders in defense, aviation, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors. We provide tailored metallic materials reinforced with ceramic nanoparticles for specific additive manufacturing needs. Our solutions provide both cost-effective and performance-driven components with high quality, accelerating our customers to innovate.
