For Research Scientists

Your Entire Materials Workflow — One Platform

Stop switching between 6 databases and 4 software suites. Search 205,000+ materials, run AI inverse design, and visualize band structures — all in the browser.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

Weeks Lost to Database Hopping

Materials Project, AFLOW, JARVIS, ICSD — each has a different API, schema, and access model. Merging them takes weeks per project.

No AI Screening

Brute-force DFT screening of thousands of candidates burns compute budgets. There's no smart pre-filter to narrow the field first.

Expensive Proprietary Software

VESTA, Materials Studio, and Schrödinger licences cost tens of thousands per year and require IT setup on every machine.

The Solution

How MatCraft fixes it

205,000+ Materials, One Search

MP, AFLOW, and JARVIS unified under a single REST API and search UI. Filter by 30+ properties in milliseconds.

AI Inverse Design

Specify target properties and let the surrogate + active learning engine find optimal candidates — 100x faster than DFT brute force.

Browser-Native Tools

3D structure viewer, band structure plots, and phase diagram tools load instantly. No install, no licence, no IT ticket.

Key Features

Built for Materials Scientists

Unified Materials Search

Full-text and property-based search across 205,000+ entries. Filter by band gap, formation energy, crystal system, and 27 more parameters.

Interactive 3D Viewer

Rotate, zoom, and inspect crystal structures. Toggle lattice, bonds, and polyhedra. Export CIF, POSCAR, XYZ in one click.

Electronic Structure

Pre-computed band structures, density of states, and projected orbital contributions visualised interactively.

DFT Export

Generate VASP POSCAR, Quantum ESPRESSO input, LAMMPS data, and CP2K files directly from any material page.

MatCraft collapsed what used to be a two-week data-gathering phase into an afternoon. The unified search alone justified switching from our old ICSD workflow.
