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 ...

In his PhD research at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht, Marc Falandt developed biomaterials whose properties can be adjusted even after they have been 3D-printed, effectively adding a fourth ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Compared to creating static objects with 3D printing, 4D printing systems add time as the fourth dimension to 3D printing: 4D printing allows a 3D printed structure to change its ...

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 ...

Using a new technique known as 4D printing, researchers can print out dynamic 3D structures capable of changing their shapes over time. Such 4D-printed items could one day be used in everything from ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

Researchers worked to revolutionize 4D printing by making a 3D fabricated material change its shape and back again repeatedly without electrical components. Reversible 4D printing technology could ...
