Frost & Sullivan’s new report sheds light on the trends facing 4D technology and the markets it’s looking to serve in the next few years. 4D printing develops materials that can change properties and ...

The days when 3D printing was simply dreamed about are far behind us. Today, the process of creating a three-dimensional object via successive layers of materials is a mainstream activity—from ...

As a society we are constantly revolutionizing the materials we use. We have created 3D printers that print out digital shapes for us and now we have created printers that produce materials capable of ...

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 4D ...

If you’re a fan of the Big Bang Theory, you may remember how Howard and Raj spent three hours printing a 25 cent whistle in a 3D printer. More of a sci-fi fan? Then, you likely watched in Jurassic ...

Skylar Tibbits Shares His Insights on the Biotechnology and Medical Applications of 4D Printing One of the most rapidly developing technologies that is already affecting a wide range of research and ...

In an article recently published in the open-access journal Scientific Reports, researchers discussed the development, design, and utility of a self-spiraling pattern-driven 4D-printed actuator. Study ...

4D printing, a new technology that creates parts that change shape when exposed to stimuli like heat or moisture, could be vulnerable to hackers that infect printers and manipulate parts in malicious ...

Whilst 3D printing continues to grow in popularity, some scientists are already looking at the next step – how to make their objects transform from one shape to another using 4D printing. Essentially, ...
