4D Printing

Gumby Bots! New Bendable Structures Could Make Origami MachinesBendable 3D-printed structures that, when heated, quickly snap back to their original shapes could help make sophisticated drug-delivery devices or origami robots, researchers said.

'4D-Printed' Objects Change Shape After They're MadeBy mimicking the way orchids, calla lilies and other plants bend and twist, scientists have created shape-shifting "4D-printed" structures that they say could one day help heal wounds and be used in robotic surgical tools.

4D Implant Saves Babies with Breathing ProblemsThree baby boys with life-threatening breathing problems are alive today thanks to a 4D biomaterial, a medical implant designed to change shape over time, that helped them keep breathing, researchers say.
