Materiais “transmorfos” inteligentes

Plástico, papel e alimentos são alguns materiais que mudam de forma quando aquecidos certo? Já pensou em controlar essa propriedade para transformar objetos de uma forma inteligente?

Na palestra de Lining Yao, Professora Assistente de HCI (Interação Humano-Computador), descobri que existe um laboratório inteiro dedicado Materiais Transmorfosna Carnegie Mellon…

4d Printing

•4-D printing takes “smart” materials from a 3-D printer that can assemble themselves. •In essence, the “fourth dimension” represents change— 4D printing simply refers to printers that create objects that can transform over time and, in some cases, self-assemble. •At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tibbits and researchers from the firms Stratasys and Autodesk Inc were trying to come up…

(Smithsonian)  Forget the 3D Printer: 4D Printing Could Change Everything

These days, 3D printing seems to be at the core of most new new research ventures, whether it’s developing ways to print entire meals or recreating facial features to repair a patient’s face.

But Skylar Tibbits wants to up the ante: He’s hoping 4D printing will be the thing of the not-so-far future.

The name for his concept, Tibbits admits, was a bit lighthearted at first. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tibbits and researchers from the firms Stratasys and Autodesk Inc were trying to come up with a way of describing the objects they were creating on 3D printers—objects that not only could be printed, but thanks to geometric code, could also later change shape and transform on their own.

The name stuck, and now the process they developed—which turns code into “smart objects” that can self-assemble or change shape when confronted with a change in its environment—could very well pop up in a number of industries, from construction to athletic wear.

4D printers? Shit just assembles itself? Is this real life?
