In 4D printing, primary 3D printed configuration switched exclusively into a transformed shape when exposed to an external stimuli, e.g. heat, light, water, chemical, electric current, magnetic field or pH. Perhaps, additive manufacturing technology seems to be superseded exclusively by this modern...
3D Printing technology has existed for almost 30 years now. Yet, while the Additive Manufacturing industry is still discovering new applications, new materials, and new 3D printers, another technology is arising. It is called 4D Printing and is coming straight from the future! How do we add ...
4D printing will change how we design, manufacture, and interact with all kinds of objects by creating things that self-assemble, reshape, and self-repair.
4D printing is an emerging field in additive manufacturing of time responsive programmable materials. The combination of 3D printing technologies with materials that can transform and possess shape memory and self-healing capabilities means the potential to manufacture dynamic structures readily for a myria...
4D printing is nothing more than a digital manufacturing technology, 3D printing, which includes a new dimension: the temporal.
< p > 4D printing technology is not yet mature, but researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's self assembly laboratory believe that this technology will eventually bring about revolutionary changes in bioscience, materials science, software, robotics, manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure...
4D printing allows for the single-step manufacturing of complex shape-shifting structures20,21,22. The simplest type of 4D printing relies on the introduction of some sort of anisotropy in the material during the printing process23,24,25,26,27. Recently, we demonstrated how hobbyist FDM 3D ...
So today for the first time, we're unveiling a new project, which is a collaboration with Stratasys, and it's called 4D printing. 还记得我刚才提到了四维,今天我们首次向大家展示一个新项目,这是和Stratasys公司一同合作的,它叫做4D(四维)打印。 The idea behind 4D printing is that you take ...
2018年8月,香港城市大学吕坚院士研究组全球首创陶瓷4D打印技术(Guo Liu, Yan Zhao, Ge Wu, Jian Lu. Origami and 4D printing of elastomer-derived ceramic structures,Science Advances. 4, 8, eaat0641, 2018),该技术结合了3D打印,自变形组装,和弹性体衍生陶瓷(Elastomer-derived ceramics,EDCs),在大尺寸陶瓷...
