About
Element 7 is dedicated to new technology development to propel forward advanced manufacturing. Our goal is to introduce revolutionary materials and pair them with new technologies to change industries. Innovative, creative, and driven, we find unique solutions to current technology challenges.
Past projects in the aerospace and defense industry have included: NASA’s Shuttle Return to Flight, Jupiter’s Icy Moons Orbiter, the Venus Project, and hypersonic seal designs.
With our extensive experience in advanced materials, additive manufacturing has become a passion. This has led to the creation of new 3D printers, novel laser sintering technology, and the development of radiation shielding for on-orbit satellite manufacturing systems.
We specialize in the impossible. From concept to project launch, we find novel solutions through use of experimental materials and custom technology.
