Advanced materials for demanding missions.
MacroVation develops non-lethal material systems, 3D-printed tooling, and mattress technologies for warfighter recovery. Our team brings formulation, prototype fabrication, and analytical testing together to turn material ideas into engineered systems.
Four federal R&D programs across the U.S. Marine Corps, NAVSEA, and the Office of Naval Research.
Four programs. Concrete engineering challenges.
Our funded portfolio connects advanced materials with defined defense needs, from non-lethal systems to manufacturing and shipboard sleep.

We make the material, build the prototype, and measure its behavior.
Our work combines advanced foams and polymer systems with additive manufacturing and analytical characterization. That connection helps the team refine materials in the context of the system they must support.
Hands-on development in Fairlawn, Virginia.
MacroVation's team brings materials engineering, laboratory work, prototype fabrication, and program operations together in Fairlawn. Larry Luster leads materials and formulation engineering, supported by a growing team and specialist contract expertise.
