Development of 4D-printed shape memory polymer large-stroke XY micropositioning stages

This paper presents two novel large-stroke XY micropositioning stages that are fabricated completely using four-dimensional (4D) printed polylactic acid (PLA). The proposed designs do not require manual training to perform actuation. Instead, printing speed is used to achieve shape programming and m...
