From Additive Manufacturing To 3d/4d Printing 3... (2024)

: The book discusses how computational design allows for materials to be "programmed" at the micro-level to perform specific physical tasks, reducing the need for external motors or complex assembly.

: The series addresses common 3D printing hurdles—like slow speed and surface quality —by proposing more versatile, multi-material systems. From Additive Manufacturing to 3D/4D Printing 3 From additive manufacturing to 3D/4D printing 3...

: While 3D printing creates static objects, 4D printing adds the dimension of time . By using smart materials that respond to stimuli—such as heat, light, or water—objects can change their shape or function after being printed. : The book discusses how computational design allows
