Abstract
An additive manufacturing process is presented that can be used to realize large volume, low cost and multifunctional metamaterials. Our approach integrates three-dimensional metamaterial geometries within a woven fabric composite by combining additive printing methods (e.g. screen printing) on large-scale structural fabric or select polymer film substrates followed by conventional composite processing.
