![]() ![]() These materials may be used to fabricate medical devices that take on programmed shapes when placed in contact with body fluids, as well as smart textiles, responsive building materials and novel electronic sensors and actuators. In addition, a variety of hydrogel materials can be used interchangeably resulting in different stimuli-responsive behaviors, while the cellulose fibrils can be replaced with other anisotropic fillers of choice, including conductive fillers. 4D printing is the combination of additive manufacturing (AM) and smart materials with an extra dimension of time that provides us a dynamic complex geometry. With this technology, local swelling behaviors become programmable in water-immersed composites, which as a result produce intricate and highly predictable shape changes.

The future applications would be based on these smart and intelligent materials thus, it is important to modify the existing voxel-based modeling and simulation approach and discuss efficient printing methods to fabricate such bio-inspired materials. This paper also outlines a review of the 4D printing of (a) smart photocurable and biocompatible scaffolds with renewable plant oils, which can be a better alternative to traditional polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) to support human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), and (b) a biomimetic dual shape-changing tube having applications in biomedical engineering as a bioimplant. Medical application of biomimetic 4D printing Mehrdad Khakbiz Additive manufacturing has attracted a lot of attention in fabrication of bio medical devices and structures in recent years. ![]() Such plant-inspired architectures can change shapes when immersed in water. This paper encompasses two recent approaches to explore the conceptual design of 4D printed objects in detail: (a) an application-based modeling and simulation approach for phytomimetic structures and (b) a voxel-based modeling and simulation approach. The shape-changing materials are inspired from biological objects, such as flowers, which are temperature-sensitive or touch-sensitive, and can be 4D printed in such a way that they are encrypted with a decentralized, anisotropic enlargement feature under a restrained alignment of cellulose fibers as in the case of composite hydrogels. As a form of 3D printing technology, bioprinting, which fabricate biomedical parts with cells, tissues, growth factors, biomaterials and other biological related materials, are also rapidly developed based on existing 3D printing technologies, such as SLA, DIW, EBP and Ink jet, could be used in bioprinting.

The voxel-based modeling and simulation approach is further modified using bi-exponential expressions to encode the time-dependent behavior of the bio-inspired 4D printed materials. Biomimetic 4D printing Citation: Amelia Gladman, Elisabetta Matsumoto, Ralph Nuzzo, Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan, and Jennifer Lewis. The voxel-based modeling and simulation approach has the enhanced features for the rapid testing (prior to moving into design procedures) of the given distribution of such 4D printed smart materials (SMs) while checking for behaviors, particularly when these intelligent materials are exposed to a stimulus. This paper will discuss the concept of 4D bioprinting and the recent developments in smart materials, which can be actuated by different stimuli and be exploited to develop biomimetic materials and structures, with significant implications for pharmaceutics and biomedical research, as well as prospects for the future. ![]() This paper encompasses two recent approaches to explore the conceptual design of 4D printed objects in detail: (a) an application-based modeling and simulation approach for phytomimetic structures and (b) a voxel-based modeling and simulation approach. For this, the designing space has to be explored in the initial stages, which is lagging so far. However, the manufacturing of such objects is still a challenging task. The 4D printed materials are stimulus-responsive and have shape-changing features. 4D printed objects are indexed under additive manufacturing (AM) objects. ![]()
