TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Method for Discrete Assembly of Cuboctahedron Lattice Materials (TOP2-315)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program is seeking companies interested in licensing a novel method for designing, manufacturing, and assembling modular cuboctahedron lattice metamaterials. The technology enables the creation of lightweight, stiff structures with configurable rigidity and auxetic behavior, using a discrete assembly of standardized parts that can be produced via processes such as injection molding. Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s ATLAS system. No funding is provided, and NASA does not anticipate a follow‑on procurement. • Licensable technology: design, production, and assembly methodology for cuboctahedron lattice metamaterials. • Intended applications: aerospace, aeronautical, and other high‑performance lightweight structures. • License terms: exclusive or non‑exclusive, may include field‑of‑use restrictions; no funding attached. • Submission portal: ATLAS at https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP2-315. • Contact: NASA’s Technology Transfer Program (email provided).
