Construction of a Production Line for Auxetic Structures Using Novel Modelling Method*

Auxetic materials have shown a great potential in various fields. Through additive manufacturing, auxetic structures could be easily produced. However, numrous and complex structures of them lead to a complicated modelling process. This paper presents a design, analyse, and fabrication line for auxetic materials. A novel modelling method is applied to make modelling process efficient and accurate.
