Architected Materials

Purpose: to promote and disseminate knowledge on the design and synthesis of Architected Materials (AM), as well as on the fundamental understanding of their unique properties.

Controlling material architecture –a complex interplay of topology, material distribution and constituent material behavior– is a powerful way to create materials with tailored and often unprecedented properties. We therefore envision a shift towards a materials-by-design approach that takes advantage of rapid advancements in material synthesis, and in particular additive manufacturing, to produce novel material systems across many length scales and with multiple functionalities. Examples of interest include mechanical, seismic and acoustic metamaterials, additively manufactured lattices and foams, nanostructured materials, optimized architectures and design algorithms, materials for extreme environments, biomimetic, and natural architected materials. The research and outreach endeavors of the AM community will facilitate, accelerate and broaden the use of AM in a plethora of engineering applications including infrastructure, aerospace, automotive and biomedical components and structures.
