Explore the design space of freestanding lace embroidery for metamaterials.
Demonstrate novel mechanical effects using this technique.

Main Methods:

Literature review of metamaterial textiles.
Design space exploration of freestanding lace embroidery.
Prototyping and demonstration of kirigami and auxetic effects.

Main Results:

Freestanding lace embroidery enables the creation of out-of-plane kirigami effects.
This technique can produce auxetic mechanical behaviors in textiles.
Demonstrated prototypes showcase potential applications.

Conclusions:

Freestanding lace embroidery is a viable method for fabricating textile metamaterials.
The demonstrated kirigami and auxetic effects expand the capabilities of embroidered textiles.
This approach facilitates the development of novel interactive and functional textile objects.
