الملخص

4D printing (4-dimensional printing; also known as 4D bioprinting, shape-morphing systems or active origami) uses the same techniques of 3D printing through computer-programmed deposition of material in successive layers to create a three-dimensional object. The notion behind 4D printing is that it creates sophisticated three-dimensional structures that are capable of changing shape and form in response to environmental inputs. According to some academics, 4D printing is merely an extension of 3D printing or additive manufacturing with the added constraint of time as a fourth dimension. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the basic mechanism of 4D printing technology and its application in addition to the use of this technology in healthcare fields. Finally, this paper presented a forecast for the 4D printing market size over the coming years.
