4d shapes make7/14/2023 ![]() I think is practical because it would involve texturizing a very thin surface, meaning less material is used. Their use in building is something else entirely. Nevertheless, I still think that making furniture out of smart materials, which would be very expensive, is an unnecessary and completely impractical luxury. But I’d probably be on the wrong side of history if I were to say that they are impossible because there are people already doing these things. Una publicación compartida por Sánchez Somolinos, a researcher at the CSIC at the Aragón Institute of Nanoscience and Materials (INMA), admits that he is “still sceptical about a few applications. There are also 3D-printed lamps made of rubber that take on different shapes depending on how they inflate. The School of Materials Science & Engineering at Georgia Tech in Atlanta is working on a new model to help us understand the behaviour of smart materials, such as alloys with shape memory, with the goal of using them in the construction of earthquake-proof bridges, columns and beams.Īnother potential application of 4D structures is furniture that can be assembled automatically using a sheet made of programmable wood that can be transformed into a chair or a table when light, heat, or water is applied to it. There is also research into the construction of bridges, different types of shelter, and other structures that can self-assemble or self-repair. New materials are already being developed for the manufacture of building facades that can automatically adapt to the climate by responding to any type of weather conditions. ![]() Here are a few concrete examples of the progress that 4D is making: In construction and interior design ![]() There are currently several research projects underway, with significant developments on the horizon in several sectors including health, electronics, the automotive industry, aerospace and military, textiles, and construction. The possibilities for designing products made using 4D technology and the other potential uses of this technique are truly astonishing. ![]()
