US Patent 11340585 Additive manufacturing of inverse-designed metadevices

A method for creating metadevices includes receiving, at a computing device, one or more boundary conditions for a metadevice. The method also includes processing, with an inverse-design algorithm stored in a memory of the computing device, the one or more boundary conditions to generate a metadevice structure design that satisfies the one or more boundary conditions. The method also includes converting, by a processor of the computing device, the metadevice structure design into a file that is compatible with an additive manufacturing device. The method further includes providing the file of the metadevice structure design to the additive manufacturing device.
