The Story

Materials science is the bottleneck of the energy transition. Every solar cell, battery, catalyst, and semiconductor begins with finding the right material — a process that today costs millions of dollars and years of lab time.

MatCraft was founded in Marseille, France in 2024 with a simple thesis: the same AI tools that transformed drug discovery can 10x the speed of materials discovery — if made accessible.

We built the platform that was missing: 205,000+ real DFT-computed materials from the world's leading databases, unified in one browser-based interface with AI-powered screening, 3D visualization, IP radar, and computational tools that previously cost $50,000/year per seat.

MatCraft gives every researcher, engineer, and student the capabilities of a $50k enterprise platform — free, in their browser, with no install.

Press Releases

April 2026

MatCraft launches AI Query Scoping Agent and Deep Scan — the first patent analysis tool built for materials scientists

The AI Query Scoping Agent intercepts broad searches and narrows them to precise inventor-grade Boolean queries. Deep Scan processes 15,000+ patents overnight with custom research directives.

April 2026

Materials IP Radar: AI-powered patent landscaping for materials science, free for researchers

IP Radar searches 125M+ patents across 100+ patent offices, categorizes them into 7 materials science domains using Gemini 2.0 Flash, and identifies unpatented white spaces.

March 2026

3D Material Builder — the first free browser-based structure editor for crystal, surface, and nanoparticle modeling

10 one-click prototypes, CIF/POSCAR import, right-click context menu, drag-and-drop, and share-by-URL. Browser-only, no install.

March 2026

205,000+ materials now searchable on MatCraft with AI-powered property prediction

Materials Project, AFLOW, and JARVIS-DFT unified in one search interface. Band structure, DOS, XRD, and phase diagrams available for MP materials.
