Technology & Products
Key Products
High-temperature thermocouples; structurally integrated sensors; direct-write electronics; R&D services
Technological Advantage
Novel thermal spray-based direct-write process for depositing materials on substrates, enabling high-temperature sensor and coating applications.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables direct-write deposition of high-temperature sensors onto engineered components, reducing sensor installation cost and improving reliability by embedding sensing directly into structures for extreme environments.
How They Differentiate
Uses a thermal spray process that accelerates material to high velocities and deposits it on a substrate; described as a pioneer and leader in the direct ... technology.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace and defense organizations, including government/military agencies (e.g., U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, NASA) and manufacturers of production aircraft.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Defense; Energy/heat exchangers; Industrial/harsh-environment sensing
Competitors
Optomec; nScrypt
Growth & Milestones
Major Milestones
Sale to CVD Equipment Corporation in 2017, spearheaded by then-President/CEO Jeff Brogan; featured in 2004 DOE Fuel Cell Program Annual Report; leader in high-temperature printed electronics (MesoPlasma™ Direct). On Aug 8, 2023 CVD sold/licensed MesoScribe's plasma-spray and material-deposition assets/IP to a third party for ~$0.9M; MesoScribe fulfilled final orders through 2024 and ceased operations effective Sept 30, 2024 (per CVD Equipment Corp SEC 10-K filings).
Notable Customers
U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command; NASA; Production aircraft manufacturers (unnamed)
