Abstract
Existing three-dimensional (3D) fabrication approaches are limited to narrow classes of materials and/or 3D geometries. This paper introduces ideas for a form of Kirigami that allows precise, mechanically driven assembly of 3D mesostructures from 2D membranes with strategically designed geometries and patterns of cuts. Theoretical shows that the Kirigami cuts significantly decrease the maximum strain in the membrane by eliminating potential localized deformation during compressive buckling and thus the fracture of the nanomembrane can be avoided. The method is accessible across diverse material types in forming a rich range of complex functional 3D mesostructures.
