A recent study proposes a computational method for the design of free-form metamaterials systems. The method simplifies the design process by avoiding the use of anisotropic materials that are usually required for the conventional methods. The method can be applied in designing both two-dimensional and three-dimensional metamaterials that are subject to multiple physical fields.
