Flextegrity’s innovative micro-architecture, which capitalizes on the dynamic equilibrium inherent in the complementary coexistence of tension and compression, offers material…
In this article we present Flextegrity’s patent – arrays that vary anisotropically, omni-topologically, creating myriad hybrid materials. Arrays and lattices…
ICOSAHEDRON COMPRESSION STUDY Introduction and Background: The project started with an initial compression model of a symmetric icosahedron array modeled…
In nature, identical, spontaneously assembling protein subunits tend to form symmetrical, minimum-energy shapes. Certain shapes are well-suited for microbiological tasks…
Positioning: Flextegrity, Inc. is the inventor/developer/manufacturer of specialty structural materials that anticipate and meet the comprehensive demands of disaster-resistant housing,…
Leverage of 'microstructural' shape factors within conventionally strong "macro-structural" forms such as the I-beam enables maximum structural efficiency.
Strength-to-weight ratio is inherently high even before material choice. Like the strongest “traditional” materials (wood, steel, and reinforced concrete), the…
The omni-extensible pattern of repeating polyhedral units combined with the ability for continuous connectivity create rich opportunities for wired or…
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…
Material applications of the technology are permeable, breathable and self-draining without sacrificing toughness and structural integrity. Open spaces within and…
