Repeatable auxetic foams are produced using three‐dimensional printing technologies. This methodology is applied here for the first time to produce playable polymeric auxetic foams with an idealized re‐entrant cellular structure. During uniaxial tens...

Auxetics are a modern class of material fabricated by altering the material microstructure. Unlike conventional materials, auxetics exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio when subjected to tensile loading. These materials have gained popularity within th...
