Modular Synergy and Parametric Regulation of Dual‐Material Deformable Unit Cell Configuration

Dual-Material Deformable Units In their Research Article (10.1002/adem.202501200), Zhutong Li, Xiang Peng, and co-workers investigate modular and programmable deformable structures based on the rigid-flexible combination of PLA and TPU. Results show that leveraging the modular and parametric design advantages of multi-material structures enables deformation modes such as expansion, bending, and torsion, and provides the capability for multi-modal coordinated deformation.
