The idea behind 4D printing is that you take multi-material 3D printing -- so you can deposit multiple materials -- and you add a new capability, which is transformation, that right off the bed, the parts can transform from one shape to another shape directly on their own.
Ideja iza 4D ispisa jest uzeti multimaterijalan 3D ispis – tako možete koristiti mnoge materijale – i dodati novu sposobnost, što je transformacija, trenutno se dijelovi mogu promijeniti iz jednog oblika u drugi potpuno samostalno.
