Ordered polymer microstructures with three‐dimensional open‐cellular truss architectures have been fabricated from an interconnected array of self‐propagating polymer waveguides. The process enables extensive variability in the microstructure leading to thick cellular materials with controlled and predictable mechanical properties.
