Description
A substantial amount of research in additive manufacturing is devoted to designing mechanical metamaterials that derive their physical properties from the particular arrangement of their small-scale geometry. In this talk, I will present recent works that use parametric growth processes to generate mechanical metamaterials. One of the main advantages of using parametric growth processes is that they allow the implicit grading of mechanical properties. Seamlessly grading different target material properties is essential for various domains such as Functionally Graded Materials (FGM). — Jonàs Martínez is a permanent researcher at INRIA and a member of the MFX team (Matter from Graphics). He received a Ph.D. degree from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2013 and was subsequently awarded an ERCIM postdoctoral fellowship to pursue his research at INRIA. His current recent research lies at the intersection between additive manufacturing, computational geometry, and computer graphics, with an emphasis on the study of small-scale random structures.
