| contents | Mechanical metamaterials -- structures with unusual properties that emerge from their internal architecture -- that are designed to undergo large deformations typically exploit large internal rotations, and therefore, necessitate the incorporation of flexible hinges. In the mechanism limit, these metamaterials consist of rigid bodies connected by ideal hinges that deform at zero energy cost. However, fabrication of structures in this limit has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the fabrication and integration of textile hinges provides a scalable platform for creating large structured metamaterials with mechanism-like behaviors. Further, leveraging recently introduced kinematic optimization tools, we demonstrate that textile hinges enable extreme shape-morphing responses, paving the way for the development of the next generation of mechanism-based metamaterials. |
