4D printing of materials is an emerging field with exciting opportunities, especially in the aerospace and bio-medical sectors. 4D printing is founded in digital manufacturing technology with a new element, “time” incorporated. 4D printing utilizes smart materials that contain elements (either reactive or functional)  designed and programmed to respond to specific external stimuli. These stimuli may include but are not limited to inflation, shrinkage, folding, movement, change in shape, and changing colour, etc.


Learning outcomes

  1. Be able to classify the factors and the shape-changing laws relating to 4D printing to establish the design basis for 4D printing of materials.
  2. Be able to classify the stimuli and responses of 4D materials and utilize them for the selection of a suitable design.
  3. Be able to identify the steps to design a simple 4D-foldable mechanism by the end of this learning path.
