4D Printing Self-Folding Strand with MIT

4D printing is made possible by adding the element of time to 3D printing. This self-assembling cube makes prototyping smarter through 4D printing.

4D printing is made possible by adding the element of time to 3D printing. This self-folding 3D printed strand is an example of making something smarter through 4D printing. By printing different material properties in different spatial locations, the part can transform, adapt and evolve over time.
