Example with three intersecting rotational degrees of freedom (DOFs). a Three desired intersecting rotational DOFs and, b the freedom and constraint spaces used to synthesize, c a directionally compliant metamaterial (DCM) that, d–f, achieves the desired compliant rotations (colors in d–f are defined in Fig. 3b)
