Additive Manufacturing of Kirigami Metasurfaces

Kirigami- the Japanese art of paper cutting – is used extensively as a design philosophy for stretchable and morphable structures. An array of cuts on a thin planar sheet creates a structure that can morph into a 3D pattern on applying an in-plane uniaxial load. This type of structure is called a kirigami metasurface. A subset of this type of...
