Expanding the Build Plate: Functional Morphing 3D Printed Structures Through Anisotropy
Certain types of patterned metamaterials—gridshells and honeycombs—are capable of bistable behavior through a tailored combination of local and global geometric parameters. This is an alternative to prestressed or composite materials, which are typically used to induce multistability in thin structu...
