In article number 2001271, Carlos M. Portela and co‐workers present an architected material design in which fibers are interwoven to construct effective beams. Mechanical characterization of additively manufactured samples and numerical analysis reveal the superior ability of woven architectures to achieve high tensile and compressive strains while accruing minimal damage, opening a pathway to apply traditionally stiff and brittle materials in high‐deformation applications such as flexible electronics.
