THE QUESTION

What is PRISM Alpha, and who holds the ESA project?

MIRDYNE’S ANSWER

PRISM Alpha is a signed ESA project developing a proof of concept for technology-assisted materials research. Bimo Tech is the consortium prime and holds the ESA contract. Following advice during ESA-related discussions, Mirdyne began separately in August 2026 to develop and commercialize the platform. Mirdyne is not the project's prime; its commercial work follows a separate company path.

PUBLIC STRUCTURE / PRISM ALPHA

How the work is structured.

The signed project, Mirdyne's spin-off, and experimental services can contribute to the same technical aim. They follow distinct contractual and funding paths.

01 / PROJECTSIGNED
PROJECTPRISM Alpha

A signed ESA project within a consortium.

CONSORTIUM PRIMEBimo Tech

The prime holds the project contract and funding path.

Project delivery and ESA funding follow the consortium contract.

02 / COMPANYSEPARATE
SPIN-OFFMirdyne

Started in August 2026; in Gründung in Hessen.

COMMERCIAL PATHPlatform and investment

Product development and any investment proceed through Mirdyne separately.

Mirdyne technology rights are allocated by signed agreements; project-related IP transfer is underway.

03 / EXPERIMENTSCOPED
TECHNICAL QUESTIONWhat needs testing?

Define the material, process, measurement, and acceptance criteria.

EXTERNAL SERVICESSpecialist facilities

Experimental work is commissioned under a defined scope when needed.

A laboratory result is evidence for its measured conditions; transfer to another facility requires validation.

SIGNED IP PATH

Technology developed for Mirdyne is already assigned to Mirdyne. Project-related IP originating under Bimo Tech is being transferred under signed, filed agreements. ESA project funding remains with the consortium contract.

MATERIALS REALITY / 01

PROCESS → STRUCTURE → PROPERTY

A formula does not
transfer a process.

Matching the nominal alloy composition is a starting point. To reproduce performance in another laboratory, the inputs, equipment, processing, structure and tests must be compared.

THE TRANSFER CHAINWhat must travel with the claim

Matching composition does not guarantee matching performance.

  1. 01

    Feedstock

    Lot chemistry, particle size, shape, moisture and reuse history can change the starting material.

    Lot identity and measured feedstock specification

  2. 02

    Machine

    Hardware, calibration, atmosphere and maintenance affect the energy actually delivered.

    Machine state and calibration record

  3. 03

    Process window

    A nominal recipe does not capture every local thermal condition or implementation detail.

    Parameters, build layout and monitoring data

  4. 04

    Microstructure

    Cooling and post-processing can alter phases, grain structure, porosity and residual stress.

    Micrographs, defect analysis and heat-treatment record

  5. 05

    Properties

    A single successful coupon does not describe variation across builds, directions or sites.

    Comparable test methods and property distributions

  6. 06

    Duty cycle

    Useful performance depends on the loads, environment and lifetime of the intended part.

    Application-specific acceptance limits and qualification plan

THE HANDOFF RULE

Record the source conditions, repeat the build and tests at the destination, then compare the results against agreed limits. The comparison below shows why that last step matters.

NIST INTERLABORATORY STUDY / 2018Variability crossed laboratory boundaries.

Ratio of between-laboratory to within-laboratory standard deviation. A ratio of 1× would mean equal spread; bars share a 0–5× scale.

Tensile strength2.7×
Yield strength4.9×
Five laboratories used nominally identical laser powder-bed fusion systems in this cobalt-chromium study. These ratios describe that alloy and process, not a universal multiplier. NIST Technical Note 2006 ↗
THE TRANSFER TEST
  1. 01 Record the source process
  2. 02 Repeat it at the destination
  3. 03 Compare against agreed limits

Transfer is demonstrated by evidence, then qualified for the intended use.

THE SAME STANDARD, BOTH WAYS

When an answer is incomplete, we name the gap. When a requirement is unclear, we ask what observable result would change the assessment.
