Introduction
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 4D 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 (4D printing, bioprinting, multi-material printing, new processes, large scale manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing, closed-loop 3D/4D printing).
-
4D printing of soft robotics, sensors, electronics, energy harvesters, and self-healing devices.
-
Advanced simulation for additive manufacturing.
-
New multi-functional materials and biomaterials for 4D printing.
-
Design for 4D printing using artificial intelligence and topological optimisation.
-
Characterisation of advanced properties for 4D printing (morphing, mechanical, fatigue, aging, etc).
-
Industrialization and applications enabled by 4D printing (health, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, sport, civil, etc)
Submissions Information
Submissions are invited for 4D Printing, a new Journal launching in 2024.
Please consult the Journal's author guidelines before making a submission.
Submitted articles must not have been previously published, nor should they be under consideration for publication anywhere else, while under review for this journal.
