4D printing is a state-of-the-art material printing technology where an object is printed in 3D using programmable matter. The use of programmable matter or material enables the object to change its shape after it is printed. The object can be transformed into other shapes through internal or external stimulus. The stimuli maybe immersion in water, fluctuation in temperature, UV light, pressure, electric current, or other forms of energy. 4D printing technology is paving the way for the development of smart shape-shifting materials. These materials can be used in various applications. 4D printing is expected to revolutionize almost every industry across the globe, as programmable materials can be transformed into a wide range of objects. 4D printing is still a niche market; commercialism of the market has not yet started. Research in 4D printing technology is being carried out at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the U.S.), where the innovative idea first came into bei...
