Significance The growing availability of 3D manufacturing methods has implications across diverse applications, from ship building to microelectronics processing. Systems with sizes in the micrometer and millimeter regime are of particular interest, where few techniques offer the necessary range of capabilities in throughput, materials compatibility, and design versatility. Recently reported techniques for mechanically guided 3D assembly offer many appealing features, but limitations remain, such as those in formation of structures with chiral features and morphable shapes. Here we present concepts that allow controlled introduction of twisting into 3D mesostructures. The results provide access to many classes of previously unachievable 3D architectures, as illustrated through nearly 2 dozen examples in diverse materials and across a wide span of length scales.
