Materials revolution is ongoing…
Materials Revolution
Energy and Infrastructure
Health and Wellness
2
…but increasingly expensive
3
Materials R&D is slow
and expensive
Optimized materials fit
smaller market niches
Smarter, more flexible
design and production
methods are needed
IMM will enable the next wave
Information Meets Matter
Energy and Infrastructure
Health and Wellness
4
How do I win the materials revolution?
5
Digital part design and manufacturing
Digitization and automation of part design, modeling, and production processes
Digital material design
Digitization and automation of materials R&D
Business model innovations enabled by digital platforms
Taking advantage of collaboration to shift cost and risk outside the organization
Digital manufacturing already enables substantial cost reduction
Razor blade company Dorco used 3D printing to reduce the cost of a prototype from $6,700 to $8.20
6
Digital manufacturing already enables substantial cost reduction
Nike’s additively manufactured “Flyknit” sneakers save on materials and labor costs
7
Multi-material additive manufacturing with improved design software can automatically generate functional parts
Providing developers with superior software tools for designing higher functional parts will ease the path to market
Digital manufacturing is beginning to enable superior products with little to no extra work
8
Composite performance strongly depends on fiber path, but most don’t optimize
Providing better modeling and design automation to tweak properties will increase application scope and ease adoption
Digital material and part design could enable superior composites
9 9
Digital material design of metamaterials will enable rapid development of customized properties
10 10
Metamaterial design can take months or years; automation enables high-speed tweaking of material properties with no change in the underlying chemistry
Materials and chemicals companies can leverage metamaterial capabilities to broaden the target market for a single material chemistry
Digital platforms offer new opportunities for innovative business models

How can you leverage 7 billion minds?
It’s still a revolution – and most of the participants are outside your walls!
There is still a materials revolution…
