Περίληψη: The ability to engineer complex 3D shapes from planar sheets with precise, programmable control underpins emerging technologies in soft robotics, reconfigurable devices, and functional materials. Here, we present a reduced‐order numerical and experimental framework for a bilayer system consisting of a stimuli‐responsive thermoplastic sheet (Shrinky Dink) bonded to a kirigami‐patterned, inert plastic layer. Upon uniform heating, the active layer contracts while the patterned layer constrains in‐plane stretch but allows out‐of‐plane bending, yielding programmable 3D morphologies from simple planar precursors. Our approach enables efficient computational design and scalable manufacturing of 3D forms with a single‐layer reduced model that captures the coupled mechanics of stretching and bending. Unlike traditional bilayer modeling, our framework models the multilayer composite into a single layer of nodes and elements, reducing the degrees of freedom and enabling simulation on a 2D geometry. This is achieved by introducing a novel energy formulation that captures the coupling between in‐plane stretch mismatch and out‐of‐plane bending–extending beyond simple isotropic linear elastic models. Experimentally, we establish a fully planar, repeatable fabrication protocol using a stimuli‐responsive thermoplastic and a laser‐cut inert plastic layer. The programmed strain mismatch drives an array of 3D morphologies, such as bowls, canoes, and flower petals, all verified by both simulation and physical prototypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
