4D Printing Pre-Strained Structures for Fast Thermal Actuation

4D Printing Pre-Strained Structures for Fast Thermal Actuation

Four-dimensional (4D) printing is an emerging technology by adding the dimension of time-dependent reconfiguration into 3D printing. It enables the 3D printed structure to change the shape, property, or functionality under external stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, and light, etc. Among t...
