Automated folding of origami lattices: from nanopatterned sheets to stiff meta-biomaterial
Teunis van Manen, Mahya Ganjian, Khashayar Modaresifar +2
Folding nanopatterned flat sheets into complex 3D structures enables the fabrication of meta-biomaterials that combine a rationally designed 3D architecture (e.g., to tune mechanic…
Theoretical stiffness limits of 4D printed self-folding metamaterials
Teunis van Manen, Amir A. Zadpoor
4D printing of flat sheets that self-fold into architected 3D structures is a powerful origami-inspired approach for the fabrication of multi-functional devices and metamaterials.…
4D printing of mechanical metamaterials
Amir A. Zadpoor
Mechanical metamaterials owe their extraordinary properties and functionalities to their micro-/nanoscale design of which shape, including both geometry and topology, is perhaps th…
Decoupling minimal surface metamaterial properties through multi-material hyperbolic tilings
Sebastien J. P. Callens, Christoph H. Arns, Alina Kuliesh +1
Rapid advances in additive manufacturing over the past decade have kindled widespread interest in the rational design of metamaterials with unique properties. However, many applica…
