Abstract:4D printing is regarded as a methodology that links 3D printing to time, which is characterized by the evolution of predetermined structures or functions for the printed object after applying stimulation. This dynamic feature endows 4D printing the potential to be intelligent, attracting wide attention from academia and industry. The transformation of shape and function are both obtained from the programming of the object endowed by the intrinsic characteristics of the material or by the manufacturing technolo… Show more
