| Abstract Scope |
Interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs) are architected arrays of mating features that enable joining of surfaces. While ILM topology and materials have previously been restricted to microfabrication techniques, recent advances in additive manufacturing technology open up a new design space for ILMs. In this talk, we demonstrate how AM enables the rapid exploration of the design space across scales. Several designs are manufactured in polymers and metals. The performance of selected designs is simulated and experimentally characterized under static loading and in vibration. The designs create robust mechanical attachment solutions that can enable the assembly of additively manufactured parts.
