Reconfigurable 3D Modular Kirigami Based Disassembalable Metamaterials

Researchers extended the concept of 2D kirgaimi (paper cutting art) to 3D and built a library of reconfigurable 3D kirigami modules as building blocks for assembling into 3D metamaterials. These assembled metamaterials could also be disassembled into pieces for reassembling into new structures with different mechanical properties.
