ABSTRACT
In our hands-on demonstration, we show several objects, the functionality of which is defined by the objects' internal micro-structure. 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.

Metamaterial Textures
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present metamaterial textures---3D printed surface geometries that can perform a controlled transition between two or more textures. Metamaterial textures are integrated into 3D printed objects and allow designing how the object interacts with the ...
Hybrid gold-copper stamp for rapid fabrication of microchips
Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted Highlights We have developed simple and low-cost fabrication method of metal stamps. The stamps are intended for fast and cheap replication of microfluidic structures. Inherent metal hardness allows hundreds of ...
Metamaterial-based antennas for integration in UWB transceivers and portable microwave handsets
Two planar antennas based on metamaterial unit-cells are designed, fabricated, and tested. The unit-cell configuration consists of H-shaped or T-shaped slits and a grounded spiral. The slits essentially behave as series left-handed capacitance and the ...
