Triangle Business Journal Spotlights AMM’s Next Phase: Scaling Composite Metal Foam

Triangle Business Journal recently profiled Dr. Afsaneh Rabiei’s push to scale Composite Metal Foam manufacturing in Raleigh—highlighting both the promise of the material and the realities of transitioning into large-scale production. The story notes how the technology’s impact-absorbing behavior can be compared to protective packaging materials, but engineered for demanding industrial performance. It also underscores a key growth hurdle familiar to advanced manufacturing: securing sufficient capital to expand production capacity, a challenge that can drive difficult strategic choices as demand and opportunity increase.
