4D print University

first 4D-printed water valve

Posted on Updated on

ACES researchers have turned their attention to the medical field of soft robotics, manufacturing a valve that actuates in response to its surrounding water’s temperature. ACES is the first group to combine printing a 4D device with four different cartridges simultaneously, while using tough gels with the incorporated actuating materials.

The fourth dimension is time, shape shifting in fact, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) at the University of Wollongong is helping to set the pace in the next revolution in additive manufacturing.

4D printed water valve will save our money

Mystery of 4D printer

Posted on Updated on

We always wonder it will be fun to buy 4D printer. But the 4D printers mystery is solved !!!!

Jenny is from BBC, she got in touch with the chief scientist, Professor Marc in het Panhuis.

What will be 4D printing future, where can we buy 4D printers, what technology are we using our product 4D printed. This is an advance technology.

For these questions, we need to go to this site.
