The 4D Printing is the first of its kind journal and aims to make a significant impact on the 4D additive manufacturing field. It focuses on the principles and advances of smart and stimuli-responsive materials and additive manufacturing and provides valuable insights and knowledge for researchers.
List of topic areas
The journal covers the following key topics:
- Advanced additive manufacturing techniques (3D printing, 4D printing, bioprinting, multi-material printing, robotic manufacturing, new processes, large scale manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing).
- Advanced manufacturing of soft robots, sensors, electronics, energy harvesters, shape memory alloys, shape memory polymers, and self-healing devices.
- Advanced simulation for additive manufacturing and multi-scale modelling.
- New multi-functional materials and biomaterials processing.
- Design for additive manufacturing using artificial intelligence and topological optimisation.
- Characterisation of advanced properties (morphing, mechanical, fatigue, aging, etc) for advanced manufacturing.
- Industrialization and applications enabled by 4D printing (health, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, sport, civil, etc)
