Response to applied stress is one of local deformation while maintaining global stiffness due to integrity of compression/tension synergy within…

Internal interconnecting matrix can be bias-positioned to create an intrinsic and interpenetrating ‘torsion box’ microstructure providing exceptional robustness to torsion…

The geometry overrides conventional limitations on inherent stiffness or flexibility! A precisely defined flexibility and/or expansion "gradient" or "zone" can…

Omni-directional control of material and size enables customized, integrated “hybrid” solutions using components of differing raw materials. Material/product design can…

The Flextegrity geometry’s multi-axial tensile network dramatically reduces the slippage and shear that can plague conventional slope stabilization techniques. A…

The proprietary geometry is infinitely scalable in unit size (from nano- to mega-scale) and in frequency (number of polyhedral elements…

Material applications of the technology are permeable, breathable and self-draining without sacrificing toughness and structural integrity. Open spaces within and…

Omni-Extensible is one possible property that a material built utilizing the C6XTY technology can have. It means- the potential for…
