4D Printing considers time as the 4th dimension, where a printed part using one or more materials is pre-programed or pre-loaded to lock in a metastable state. When stimulated by thermal, chemical, optical, electrical or magnetic mean, the part can change to the final shape and form to perform the intended function. It is the goal of this project to (1) design and optimize a test CAD model to be used toward a standardize test script, (2) apply such test script on our extended polymer libraries to select potential smart candidates, and (3) demonstrate the feasibility of one system (design and material) toward a medical application.
