Nanofoundry is developing a low-cost alternative to rare earth-based magnets based on proprietary nanoparticle materials and related manufacturing technology. Nanofoundry's mission is to bring to market nanoparticle materials formulated from non-exotic resources that will improve efficiencies and costs in power usage, generation, and conversion. The market potential for Nanofoundry's technology is at least one billion dollars (2014), initially focusing on applications in the $14B permanent magnet market. Additional benefits include reducing supply chain risk and the environmental impact associated with today's use of exotic materials. The company's knowhow and intellectual property center on the design of nanoparticle materials and their production using a microreactor wet chemical process. This technology enables the manufacturing of nanoparticle materials to scale up to industrial quantities. The company is a technology spin-off from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, where Everett Carpenter, Ph.D., one of the company's founders, has led the innovation of these materials and their production. Dr. Carpenter is the Director of VCU's Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Program and Director of VCU's Nanomaterials Characterization Center.
