4D printing is opening up possibilities never before seen from printing in outer space or even remote areas of our planet with its reactive abilities.

4D printing is real, happening now, and has the potential to shape the world. Self-assembly in 4D printing uses materials responding to external stimuli. A regular 3D printer can be used to create ...

A 4D printed object is like a 3D printed object, but it changes shape or self-assembles when its environment changes. [Teaching Tech] has been reading about this technology and decided to try to re… ...

3D printing with stimuli-responsive materials is called 4D printing. 4D printing enables 3D printed structures to change its configurations over time and is used in a wide variety of fields such as ...

It might seem like there’s a typo in the title, but 4D printing stocks are a real industry emerging right now. But what is 4D printing, other than just 3D printing in an extra dimension? Well ...

4D printing adds a new dimension to the process: time. Whereas 3D printing technologies allow users to construct a 3D product, 4D technologies allow a 2D product to gradually change its shape over ...

The 3D printing process has also proven to be time-consuming and wasteful, as well. However, a new study set to be published in ACM Transactions on Graphics examines how the shortcomings of 3D ...

A research team has been given a US$855,000 grant to start research on printing's next step: the fourth dimension.

The United States Army Research Office has awarded $855,000 to develop new 4d printing applications. The idea is to embed smart materials that can respond to something like a light, charge, or ...

North America accounts for 36.29% of global market share, driven by strong R&D, defense investments, and the presence of leading innovators such as HP, Autodesk, and Stratasys. The U.S. dominates ...

It might seem like there’s a typo in the title, but 4D printing stocks are a real industry emerging right now. But what is 4D printing, other than just 3D printing in an extra dimension? Well ...
