Abstract

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also termed 3D-printing, has recently exploded-with rapidly evolving processes, systems, and new bio-compatible materials. At ABĒMIS labs, we have been working on a novel AM enabling meta-structure that, to our knowledge, has not been previously described. Meshagons™, as we call them, are the first programmable, fractal-like meta-mesh structures that are fully manifold and multi-scale. Description and examples are presented.
