Study simplifies 4D printing process for self-assembling objects

A study published in Science Advances demonstrates a way of creating 3D printed shapes that assemble when exposed to heat. The study proposes a simplified process of "4D printing" with the potential for applications in high-value manufacturing and consumer products, such as expanding heart stents, and flat-pack furniture that assembles itself.
