Marc del Pozo Puig of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has created a new 'smart ink' for use in 4D printing. 4D printing uses 3D printing to create objects capable of rearranging ...

It wasn’t so long ago that 3D printing was the new kid on the block. Now the term 4D printing is making headlines, stretching our ability to conceptualize once again. To understand 4D printing, it ...

Although 4D printing is considered very promising for various biomedical applications – such as tissue scaffolds, neural scaffolds, grafts and stents, cardiac patches and valves, even bionic ...

STAFFORD, England—A new manufacturing technique brings a fourth dimension to additive manufacturing through the use of "smart polymers" that can be programmed to remember shapes when they are printed, ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago recently invented a 4D-printed living material that could be a game-changer for organ and tissue regeneration. UChicago researcher conducts experiments on a ...

In the latest research in the field of materials science and engineering, researchers have made remarkable progress in the 3D and 4D printing of electromagnetic metamaterials (EMMs). This breakthrough ...

A new Frost & Sullivan report calls attention to a new chapter in printing technology making its way into healthcare called 4D printing. The biggest difference from 3D printing is 4D involves ...

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 ...
