MIT’s New Computational Platform Makes 3D Woven Metamaterials Fully Customizable

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a computational framework for designing 3D woven metamaterials that are soft, flexible, and programmable. Unlike traditional metamaterials, which rely on rigidity and lightweight structures, these woven lattices can be tuned fiber by fiber to stretch, bend, or fail in controlled ways, opening new possibilities for […]
