    The present work investigates programmable auxetic surfaces and how they can be enabled to achieve a general surface shape upon external control. To actively generate target geometries from an initial geometry, a process of non-uniform expansion or contraction as well as an alteration of local curvatures are necessary. This implies the alignment of a multiplicity of control factors. The present work suggests that auxetic mechanisms hold a high potential to achieve and simplify such alignments. As a key principle for achieving defined target forms and the required shape transitions, the study identifies the modification of the local scaling factor and the Gaussian curvature of plane su...
