For those new to 3D, there are so many things to learn, but one of the most complex can be animation. Even if an artist has a ...

Drawing inspiration from how plants change shape in response to environmental stimuli, Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have ...

4D printing is real, happening now, and has the potential to shape the world. Self-assembly in 4D printing uses materials responding to external stimuli. A regular 3D printer can be used to create 4D ...

Nowadays, 3D printing allows items to be created from a wide variety of materials — plastic, ceramic, glass, metal and even stranger ingredients such as chocolate and living cells. The machines work ...

4D, most known in science fiction and theoretical physics, is being actualized by the 4D printing technology developed at MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab. This breakthrough enhances conventional 3D printing ...

If you’re a fan of the Big Bang Theory, you may remember how Howard and Raj spent three hours printing a 25 cent whistle in a 3D printer. More of a sci-fi fan? Then, you likely watched in Jurassic ...

Three dimensional printing is about to become so passé – welcome to the world of 4D printing. A team of scientists has created a technique for printing objects that can change their shape over time ...

A new 4D-printing technique that creates complex structures in minutes could be used to make temperature-activated cardiac stents, drug capsules and flat-pack furniture. Zhen Ding at the Singapore ...

4D Inc. has announced the release of 4D Office Object Library. The software binds 4D 2004 objects to Microsoft Office objects without requiring developers to write ...
