QuesTek Innovations LLC is a materials science, engineering and software company that develops materials for applications such as automotive and aerospace. It is one of the first companies to employ integrated computational material engineering (ICME), which relies on physics-based models to predict the performance characteristics of materials. QuesTek has developed materials for companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, General Motors, Audi,[1] and government agencies such as NASA, United States Department of Energy, and United States Department of Defense.[2] QuesTek uses simulation tools to predict formulations of alloys that can meet the requirements for material properties and performance, often while increasing sustainability.[3]
