We present a computational inverse design framework for a new class of volumetric deployable structures that have compact rest states and deploy into bending-active 3D target surfaces. *Umbrella meshes* consist of elastic beams, rigid plates, and …
We optimize patterns that, when cut into a flat rubber sheet, produce *bistable* auxetic metamaterials encoding curved target geometries.
We program curved surfaces into flat sheets by optimizing a strain-limited auxetic metamaterial.
