Materials for Extreme Dynamic Environments (MEDE)

Materials for Extreme Dynamic Environments (MEDE)

Through ARL’s MEDE and iCREATE programs, CCM developed a Materials by Design approach for new materials (resins, fibers and interphases) optimized for increased energy absorption and damage tolerance under extreme dynamic loading.

Pilot-Scale TuFF Manufacturing Facility

Pilot-Scale TuFF Manufacturing Facility

CCM established a pilot-scale facility for producing zero-waste, fiber-to-part TuFF feedstock with high fiber volume fraction (≈60%) and low void content (<1%).
