3D-printed metamaterials that stretch and fail by design
Caption:This image of a woven deformable metamaterial was taken with a scanning electron microscope. @Image courtesy of the researchers. New framework supports design and fabrication of compliant materials such as printable textiles and functional foams, letting users predict deformation and material failure. Metamaterials — materials whose properties are primarily dictated by their internal microstructure, and not their chemical makeup — have been redefining the engineering
