Featured research / Adaptive structures
4D printing,
from sample to simulation.
Thermally induced shape morphing is studied through experiments and finite-element modelling. The PLA study links the printed sample, its curved shape and the corresponding numerical representation.
Read the 2024 studyWhere does 6D printing fit?
The 2021 paper introduces 6D printing as a concept combining multi-axis fabrication with stimulus-responsive structures. It is presented here as a research concept, not as a claim that a dedicated 6D printer is installed in the laboratory.
