3-D Fabrication Technique: Three-Layer Mesostructure (VIDEO) Northwestern University This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Caption Northwestern University and University of Illinois researchers have developed a simple new fabrication technique that mimics the action of a children's pop-up book. First, a two-dimensional structure is fabricated and transferred onto a stretched elastic material. Then the tension is released, and the desired 3-D structure forms by popping up. A three-layer mesostructure is shown here. Credit Credit: Northwestern University Usage Restrictions Credit must accompany movie and use of caption is encouraged.
