Mechanical metamaterials manufactured by increasing technology

Abstract

Presented is the first phase of work, which concerned the study of metamaterial mechanisms made of rubber-like plastics, and the impact of their structure and geometry on the transfer of a given force and displacement in a designed model, made using FDM (fused deposition modeling). The aim of the work is to examine the impact of technological parameters and changes in geometry and filling on the strength parameters of the manufactured object and further considerations on replacing the classic assemblies of mechanical elements with elements made using metamaterial structures.
