The Influence of Shape Changing Behaviors from 4D Printing through Material Extrusion Print Patterns and Infill Densities

Four-dimensional printing (4DP) is an approach of using Shape Memory Materials (SMMs) with additive manufacturing (AM) processes to produce printed parts that can deform over a determined amount of time. This research examines how Polylactic Acid (PLA), as a Shape Memory Polymer (SMP), can be progra...
