Researchers use 3D printing to make ‘digital mechanical metamaterials’ that function like machines

A group of researchers from the Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany has devised a technique for 3D printing "digital mechanical metamaterials" that can be used to create complex devices such as combination locks. The metamaterials contain special spring-loaded cells that can trigger signals. Back in September, we reported on the work of a group of […]
