We help you build
what comes next.
SAMI partners with defense, aerospace, semiconductor, medical device, and energy innovators to develop next-generation materials — bringing decades of industrial science expertise directly into your R&D process.
Three ways SAMI engages.
Every engagement starts with your challenge, not our service menu. We identify the right model, bring the right expertise, and stay in the partnership until results are delivered.
We embed alongside your R&D team as an advanced materials partner — from materials selection and process development through qualification and scale-up. We bring the science. You bring the product vision.
Explore →When your development process needs deep characterization — trace elemental, surface chemistry, depth profiling, or structural analysis — we bring the right technique, interpret the results, and translate them into development decisions.
Explore →We partner with defense contractors and primes to solve hard materials problems — advanced coatings, detector materials, nuclear fuel, and structural materials — and support SBIR and DoD program engagement as a technical partner, not a paperwork consultant.
Explore →Where the hardest materials
problems live.
We focus on industries where materials science is the difference between a product that works and one that doesn't — and where getting it right has real consequences.
What makes a development partner
different from a testing lab.
by access.
Every R&D team encounters complex materials problems. Sometimes the answer is available. Sometimes it isn't — even after months of searching. Sometimes the right expertise exists but lives behind the walls of a large laboratory with a long queue and a standard report format.
SAMI was founded to close that gap. We bring the deep materials science expertise of industrial PhD-level scientists directly into your development process — as a partner who is invested in your outcome, not just completing a test order.
"The need for new materials, new technical know-how, and new products will stay for all times to come. We exist to help our partners get there."
The tools we bring
to every partnership.
Our analytical capabilities are not products — they are instruments in our development toolkit, selected and applied based on what your materials challenge actually requires.
