About US

Bend Metal LLC arose from a shared interest by several board members of Icarus Interstellar, a non-profit organization that seeks to achieve manned interstellar spaceflight in the year 2100. The breakthrough concepts discussed and developed by Icarus Interstellar's designers show increasing promise for practical application. As these concepts reach the product development stage, Bend Metal offers a network of established professionals to guide designers and entrepreneurs through establishing their intellectual property, founding their business, and developing their product(s) from prototype to production stage.
