New NIJ certified Armour Plates
Armor Designs, Inc., (AIM: ADID, ADIS), a 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 3 armoured plates. These are significant plate certifications that the Company has attained and positions the Company to market these high quality plates for the protection against rifle rounds.
The certified plates, made from composite materials, were designed, prototyped, tested and certified in a period of less than 60 days through the application of patented Volumetrically Controlled Manufacture (VCM) methodology, thus emphasising the utility of the patented processes. The plates are believed to be the lightest in the market weighing less than 3.3lbs.
Charles Snyder, CEO, commented: "I am extremely pleased with the work of our advanced R&D team, Scorpion Works, having only been established for a few months. The Scorpion Works team has been able to produce these outstanding products in such a short period of time through the application of VCM technology. It certainly underscores the power of VCM and the competitive advantage VCM provides to the Company."

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.
