4-D Technology Allows Self-folding of Complex Objects

Thursday, September 24, 2015 - 08:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Using components made from smart shape-memory materials with slightly different responses to heat, researchers have demonstrated a four-dimensional printing technology that allowed creation of complex self-folding structures. The technology, developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), could be used to create 3-D structures that […]
