    4D printing is an advanced form of 3D printing that uses programmable materials that can transform or change shape when exposed to stimuli like water, heat, or light over time. Some materials used in 4D printing include shape memory polymers and hydrogels. Potential applications of 4D printing include use in medical research, aeronautics, robotics, military technology, home appliances, and fashion. However, 4D printing also faces limitations like the potential to create dangerous objects and reduce jobs in manufacturing.

    4D -PRINTING

    A Technology coming from the future


    3D-PRINTING

    • It is a form of additive
    manufacturing technology
    where a three dimensional
    object is created by laying
    down successive layers of
    material.
    Cons of 3-D Printing

    • Limited use of materials


    • Limited size
    • Plastic material is fixed
    What Is 4D Printing

    • 4D Printing refers to 3D
    printing transforming over
    time. D --> Time
    4D technology
    • 4D Printing technology
    uses programmable and
    advanced materials which
    perform a different
    functionality by adding hot
    water, light or heat.
    4D printed objects
    Different ways of approaching

    • Shape memory polymers


    • Water absorbing materials
    and hydrogels
    Block diagram
    Shape Memory polymers
    • Have good recovery strain
    • Density is low
    Hydrogels
    • They possess good
    transportproperties.
    • Hydrogels are biocompatible
