Swiss Federal Institute of Technology: Researchers Use Heat for Greater Success in 4D Printing
“Interest in 4D printing has continued to grow as scientists have expanded their research into creating items and materials that are helpful to research (as well as many other industries, to include fashion) as they adapt to their surroundings, often changing and then reverting back to their original form.
Now, a study by Marius Wagner, Tian Chen, and Kristina Shea of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) outlines how shape memory polymers can be the catalyst for producing adaptable materials that also go back to their original shape when heated. Their research explains how they used the following:
3D printing
Thermoviscoelastic meta-materials
Programmable design…”
