The United States is currently un-prepared to win a war in space. Atomic-6 was founded to solve a problem that the composites industry has been trying to overcome for the past half century. That problem is manufacturing high performance at high volumes with more economical efficiency. Or simply put, how can the composite manufacturing process offer aerospace level performances at automotive level margins and production volume. Atomic-6 has not only proven the possibility of this but has repeatedly lab tested and shown the technology works at scale, offering performance levels previously thought impossible while demonstrating 120 times faster production capability in certain applications. Atomic-6 produces composites with material properties that no other composite manufacturer has matched. We have presented to composite engineers at almost every major defense prime in the United States. They all have similar responses. First, they can't believe it and second, they want to know how Atomic-6 can start R&D projects with them. The highest fiber volumes, 98% tensile modulus theoretical limit achieved (previously thought impossible), uniform distribution of the fiber and matrix, promoting polymer chain alignment, and minimizing porosity throughout the structure. This allows for minimal standard deviations across destructive/non-destructive testing that is in the 0.1-0.2% range. Phenomenal is the typical adjective we hear. Atomic-6 was the only U.S. company awarded Top 20 Global Finalists for the 2022 JEC World Composites Startup Booster Competition. Atomic-6 is backed by IronGate, an Aerospace & Defense Venture Capital Firm. One of 20 out of 3,000 annually chosen to be Accelerated by Starburst, the world's 1st global accelerator for Aerospace & Defense. Atomic-6 was voted #1 most innovative company in Georgia for 2022 by the Technology Association of Georgia, a 30,000 member community.
