4D Printing Intelligent Filaments

Description

4D-printed intelligent filaments are a type of smart polymer material that can undergo shape changes under external stimuli such as heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. 4D printing adds a time dimension to the basis of 3D printing; under external environmental stimuli, the structure, performance, and functionality of 4D-printed products evolve over time.

The diameter of 4D-printed intelligent filaments is approximately 1.75 mm, making them suitable for fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers.
