4D printing is fundamentally 3D printing with the added capability of self-assembling materials to transform over time.

4-D printing refers to the process of creating self-assembling structures that dynamically transform over time, reacting to environmental triggers such as heat, light and humidity.

Skylar Tibbits of MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab shares his insights on the biotechnology and medical applications of 4D printing, a way of producing highly active structures that morph over time.
