Abstract
Stone Age, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age were names of the eras of mankind after materials. Is the metamaterial (or 3D-printing) age next? Many people are working on meta-objects. Is there a high probability that in the close future, the 3D printing would overcome all other fabricational process? Recent advances in three-dimensional printing on the micro- and macro-scale help them to succeed. In this talk, we will show how one can built metamaterials or to control different physical properties in mechanics, magneto-transport and thermal expansion. The main key of the talk will be to show that using a single component material; one can realize any effective properties in the required field and even sometimes go beyond the standard bounds. In the figure 1, we show few examples of metamaterials realized by DLW (direct laser writing) which properties are obtained from the geometrical structure.
