Description
Prototype of Auxetic metamaterial which I made to demonstrate how auxetic metamaterials work. The rectangle sample works well, but the star sample needs to be printed from flexible material.
If you pull on the auxetic metamaterial its cross section will get wider, instead of getting thinner as it's with conventional materials. these samples are only 2-dimensional, which means it has auxetic proprties only in two dimensions.
