About Armor Designs, Inc.
Armor Designs, Inc. (ADI) is a knowledge-based,
technology-innovation company that develops and manufactures the
highest quality, lightest and most cost-effective armor solutions
to serve the military, government and commercial sectors on a
global basis. We are an international company headquartered in
Phoenix, Arizona, and our commitment to state-of-the-art innovation
is driven through the application of our patented Volumetrically
Controlled Manufacturing (VCM) methodologies. VCM is a unique,
integrated design and manufacturing approach that optimizes parts
and systems by varying the size, shape, topology and material
properties of the constituent materials in the armor allowing for
rapid design and manufacturing of advanced composite materials.
This methodology eliminates the trial-and-error approach and
instead provides a robust platform for a rapid development of armor
solutions that can be tailored for any application.
