Popis: The auxetic structures considered in this paper are three-dimensional periodic bar-and-joint frameworks. We start with the specific purpose of obtaining an auxetic design with underlying periodic graph of low valency. Adapting a general methodology, we produce an initial framework with valency seven and one degree of freedom. Then, we describe a saturation process, whereby edge orbits are added up to valency 16, with no alteration of the deformation path. This is reflected in a large dimension for the space of periodic self-stresses. The saturated version has higher crystallographic symmetry and allows a precise description of the deformation trajectory. Reducing saturation by adequate removal of edge orbits results in vast numbers of distinct auxetic designs which obey the same kinematics.
