Exploring additional solutions for freedom mechatronics
article
Metamaterials is a rapidly developing field of research. It offers the prospect of material properties that do not exist in regular materials and which might be useful for overcoming hurdles in current mechatronic system design. Stimulated by the progress in additive manufacturing (AM) that has enabled fabrication of materials with complex microstructuren, system designers have discovered increased design freedom. With metamaterials, even the possibility of distributing material properties has entered the design arena, which might expand the system engineering solution space. Building further on the idea of freeform mechatronics, this opens up new perspectives for applications of metamaterials in high-tech mechatronic systems.
