It wasn’t so long ago that 3D printing was the new kid on the block. Now the term 4D printing is making headlines, stretching our ability to conceptualize once again. To understand 4D printing, it ...

A joint research team has developed the first 4D printing technology built from industrial ...

A joint research team led by Dr. Dong-Gyun Kim of the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Professor ...

It might seem like there’s a typo in the title, but 4D printing stocks are a real industry emerging right now. But what is 4D printing, other than just 3D printing in an extra dimension? Well, in this ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The colors in the world around us are produced through either absorption of light by molecules (pigmentary colors) or scattering of light by nanostructures (structural colors).

4D printing adds a new dimension to the process: time. Whereas 3D printing technologies allow users to construct a 3D product, 4D technologies allow a 2D product to gradually change its shape over ...

A research team has been given a US$855,000 grant to start research on printing's next step: the fourth dimension. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with ...

In CNC milling, the so-called “4th axis” is rotation of either the tool or the part around the other. In additive manufacturing techniques, like 3D printing, the angle at which a material is deposited ...

A decade ago, 3D printing was the hottest buzzword on the planet. Investors piled in… and 3D-printing stocks took off like a rocket. 3D Systems DDD — a leading 3D-printing company at the time — soared ...

Although 4D printing is considered very promising for various biomedical applications – such as tissue scaffolds, neural scaffolds, grafts and stents, cardiac patches and valves, even bionic ...
