Armor Designs receives National Institute of Justice certification for Armour Plates
Armor Designs, Inc., (AIM: ADID, ADIS), the designer and manufacturer of composite armour products targeting numerous sectors, today announces that it has received US National Institute of Justice (“NIJ”) certification for two of its Level 4 armoured plates. These are significant plate certifications that further broaden the Company’s range of personal protection plates and positions Armor Designs to market these high quality plates for protection against armour piercing rifle rounds.
The Company once again used patented Volumetrically Controlled Manufacturing (“VCM”) methodology to accelerate the time from concept to final production. Leveraging previous VCM knowledge gained from successful certification of Level 3 plates and other products, the Level 4 plates, made from a composite of advanced materials, were designed to be one of the lightest in the market with a thickness of less than 1 inch (25 mm).
Charles W. Snyder, CEO of Armor Designs, commented: “I am delighted with the continued success of our advanced R & D team, Scorpion Works. Their ability to apply VCM technology to a wide range of applications and quickly design and prototype new products only goes to further emphasise the unique skills and abilities of our Company. We look forward to announcing further new products and certifications over the coming months that will emphasise the power of the VCM methodology, and position the Company for commercial success.”

Notes to Editors
Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Armor Designs specialises in the research, testing, development and commercialisation of composite armour products.
Each of the products being developed by Armor Designs, in whole or in part, is based upon a generic synthetic manufacturing process called volumetrically controlled manufacturing ("VCM"). The VCM process was originally developed by Dr. James St. Ville and involves the creation of a computerised model into which can be inputted the specific tolerances and design constraints of a proposed product. The model then adjusts the composition of the material until the required properties are achieved, through 3D design optimisation. The VCM process gives Armor Designs the potential to rapidly develop new composite armour products which might consist of various materials, such as metals, ceramics, resins and/or fibres, which in combination might share the same or better resistance to penetration as existing armour equivalents but which are, potentially, lighter and more versatile.
The VCM technology is the subject of several US and international patents and patent applications, which are exclusively licensed to Armor Designs' subsidiary, Armor Designs LLC, in the field of use of synthetic armour.
