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.

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 ...

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… ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new smart ink has been developed for 4D printing that can respond to changes in light, humidity, water, and temperature.

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 ...
