Thanks for all the input. I think I found something to quiet my mind:
Raw Material vs. Fabricated Material.
To me this distinction makes the universe come back into alignment. Honeycomb Aluminum is a fabricated material made from aluminum. Denim, a fabricated material made from cotton. A lighting truss, fabricated material from aluminum. The microlattice product from the article is a fabricated material from steel.

Works for me.
