Advances in Additive Manufacturing for Polymer Textiles: From 3D to Innovative 4D Printing. A Review
Edgar A Franco Urquiza
Abstract:Three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing emerged as the next generation of manufacturing techniques, spanning several research areas such as engineering, chemistry, biology, computing, and materials science. Three-dimensional printing allows the manufacture of complex shapes with high precision, by adding layer by layer of different materials. The use of smart materials that change shape or color, produce an electrical current, become bioactive, or perform an intended function in response to a… Show more
