Objective
compared to 3D printing, the concept has been proposed for more than two years of 4D printing slightly deserted. What the hell is 4D? How did the sudden "D" turn out?
before you start exploring 4D printing, let's look at the human reproduction process:
a man's sperm and a woman's eggs are paired and combined to form a whole new cell, which is the raw material that makes up "me"-23 to 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome has a certain number of design factors, which we call "gene", which supports the basic structure and performance of "I" Life, and stores all the information about the race, blood type, gestation, growth and apoptosis of "I".
after the material is ready, "I" will be "printed" out, and this printing carrier is the mother. Since then, the "I" in the extension of the time dimension, in the environment of all things "catalysis", the beginning of life, long, sick, old, death changes, and will further deduce the reproductive, cell division and protein synthesis and other important physiological processes, the cycle. For this process, everyone may be unfamiliar, and understandably.
So, what is 4D printing going on?
as the human reproduction process, 4D printing can be generally understood as: each chromosome contains the genetic code, is the object of the most primitive design program coding, and our lifetime of the growth process, that is, human this "4D print", in the time of the four-dimensional environment based on the "catalysis" of the organization changes.
In other words, the biggest difference between 4D printing and 3D printing is that 3D printing, like all manufacturing processes now, is the end of creation, and 4D printing is the beginning of creation, just as human beings are born.
Of course, this is just an analogy to 4D printing based on the author's personal understanding. In order to allow you to more three-dimensional, comprehensive understanding of "still hold pipa semi-mask" 4D printing, we come to see how Baidu explains 4D printing. According to Baidu Encyclopedia entry information: so-called 4D printing, more than 3D printing a "D", that is, the time dimension, people can set the model and time by software, deformation of the material will be in the set time for the desired shape. Accurately, 4D printing is a material that can be automatically deformed, directly into the design of the material, without the need to connect any complex electromechanical equipment, can be automatically folded into the corresponding shape according to the product design.
is that what happened? Or let's take a look at 4D printing's past life.
at the TED2013 conference in Long Beach, California, February 26, 2013, the Massachusetts Institute of Architecture (MIT) Lecturer Skella Tubitz (Skylar tibbits) used a novel material combination for a 3D printer, creating a linear object When the object is placed in water, it can change the shape to form the letter "MIT". This effect is achieved by combining absorbent polymeric materials with alkaline plastics, which are defined as 4D printing. "What we want to say is that you design the product and print it, and it evolves. It's like embedding wisdom in the material. "Tibbits said in an interview.
October 8, 2014, the U.S. "Diplomacy" bimonthly published a "Ready to meet the 4D printing Revolution" article. Naif Rouzins, an honorary scholar at St. Anthony's College, Oxford University, said that the possible application of 4D printing is endless: The real future of digital manufacturing lies in the fourth dimensional space-the printing of objects that vary by programming over time.
based on this, we may soon see that the sci-fi dream of access to reality.
imagine that with the advent of 4D printing, the city's underground piping system uses programmable materials, each pipe can adapt to the changing environment, through expansion or reduction to adjust capacity and flow, and the pipeline in the damaged can be self-repair or decomposition at the end of the scrap, which will solve the problem of how much urban construction maintenance!
4D printing, which is used in the biomedical field, is marvellous, which will greatly change the current medical condition. In the 3D printing era, we have been able to use 3D printing heart, limb skeleton and other replacement of human aging organs, and the advent of 4D printing, will undoubtedly bring us more optimization solutions. For example, the replacement of the heart stent will no longer require a "knife", can be 4D printing liquid stent, and then through the blood circulation system to carry the design of intelligent materials, and so on to the heart designated areas, and then self-assembled into a heart stent. What's more, as the newest science institute tells the world, human DNA can be modified. Put aside the moral dimension, by editing the DNA, at least for human health to open a window, and 4D printing will open this window of a golden key.
