4D printing is opening up possibilities never before seen from printing in outer space or even remote areas of our planet with its reactive abilities.
Hong Kong researchers have achieved a ground-breaking advancement in materials by successfully developing the world's first-ever 4D printing for ceramics, which are mechanically robust and can have complex shapes.
With 4D printing, the element of time becomes part of the printing system, resulting in materials that emerge with one shape but then morph into another.
