Here is the first question what's the next ? We
all know about the 3D printing with which a material can take the shape of any
real world object, so that you can actually realize how will it be look like,
But the new era of 4D printing is arriving soon and even already entered.
There is a
The Little difference between the 3D printing and 4D printing and the difference is-
In 3D printing after taking the shape of an object the material can’t change its
shape but there is a difference at this particular point between 3D
printing and 4D printing that the material can change its shape at the later
stage in 4D printing.
This concept was originated in the great mind of
Mr. Skylar Tibbits, an Architect and computer scientist of MIT university. According to him this
technology can really change the future, the concept is-
There is an programmable material which can reconfigure itself even after it gets the shape from the 3D Printer, there is no microprocessor, no electro- mechanical thing and even no circuit boards inside that but still with the help of the water it can be in any shape whatever you want, because it can use the energy it gets from water, sound or any other energy source and can use that energy to change its shape.
