“Metamaterial Devices” by Ion and Baudisch
Description:
In our hands-on demonstration, we show several objects, the functionality of which is defined by the objects’ internal microstructure. Such metamaterial machines can (1) be mechanisms based on their microstructures, (2) employ simple mechanical computation, or (3) change their outside to interact with their environment. They are 3D printed from one piece and we support their creating by providing interactive software tools.
