The Muscle Wires® brand name includes a wide range of shape memory alloy kits, books and more. These products are all wire, optimized for building actuators.

The best-selling Muscle Wires® Project Book has provided clear and useful introduction to SMAs for tens of thousands of experimenters. The award-winning Space Wings kit and Solar Space Wings kit give easy hands-on experience with electrically activated SMAs. Click for more.

These kits have provided shape memory alloy material and information as well as product design services using these amazing metals to researchers, students, hobbyists and experimenters since 1986!

SMA devices have been designed for a wide range of clients including NASA, Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic, Smithsonian Institute, Boeing, Neiman Marcus, Nature Company, Buckminster Fuller Institute, ShowBiz Pizza Time theaters, science museums, professional magicians (if we told you who they'd make us disappear!) and many others. In 1996 our wire landed on the red planet Mars aboard the Pathfinder Sojourner Rover. Thanks NASA!
