Microtech Labs is dedicating significant effort to internal research and development across advanced materials, propulsion, and related systems. While on-demand FDM manufacturing and prototyping remains active to partners and clients, our long-term mission is focused on research, experimentation, and early-stage technology development. These initiatives are exploratory, self-funded, and developed internally.
Research into advanced material systems designed to mitigate radiation exposure. Current work explores hydrogel materials with integrated organic properties, aiming for lightweight, self-healing, and printable materials. Efforts focus on material behavior, formulation pathways, and manufacturability, supported by modeling and early-stage testing.
Foundational propulsion research centered on physics-based modeling, system architecture, and simulation. Initial efforts focus on liquid propellant engines as a baseline, with modeling and design studies establishing a technical foundation for exploring more advanced propulsion concepts over time.
