Stratasys' "programmable materials" are a technological breakthrough. Just when many folks on Main Street were being introduced to 3D printing last year, a new technology that makes it seem downright ...
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 ...
The healthcare industry will be among the first to reap the benefits of emerging four-dimensional printing technology, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan. [See also: Triple aim] The ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) The colors in the world around us are produced through either absorption of light by molecules (pigmentary colors) or scattering of light by nanostructures (structural colors).
(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 ...
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, ...

Forget 3D Printing, What the Heck Is 4D Printing?
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 ...
Drawing inspiration from how plants change shape in response to environmental stimuli, Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have ...
Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, takes a digital blueprint and turns it into a physical object using computer-aided design (CAD). A repeating 2D structure is built up, ...
