Video: Embracing 4D Printing

Time is the element that pushes 3D to 4D, creating printed materials that change their shape over time. Their potential is great, but their development is still in the early stages. Still, 4D-printed healthcare applications may be the closest to commercial use. Shape-shifting materials, for instance, could be used for small, implantable medical devices. In this video we take a closer look at how 3D printing is building a foundation for 4D development in biomedical applications.
