4D printing makes future furniture not have to do it yourself?

Posted on

Last year, SkylarTibbits, a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explained the concept of 4D printing at TED2013. The so-called "4D printing" means that the material can be automatically changed into a preset model by passing certain conditions. At TED2013, Skylar demonstrated that when the rope made of self-assembled materials was mixed and put into the water, the words MIT were automatically formed, and the whole process was amazing. After a year and a half, Skylar led his “self-assembly lab” to make more materials such as wood, carbon fiber, and rubber/plastic “self-assembling”. - In the lab's official website, they call it "ProgrammableMaterials". In addition to expanding self-assembled materials, Skylar and its partners challenged the new difficulty of self-assembly. For example, let a few pieces of wood piece fold into an elephant-shaped doll, and a woven material that can be graded according to weather changes. The goal of self-assembling laboratories is to create "robots without robots." The "programmable materials" they developed do not contain a microprocessor, but they allow the materials to be assembled by themselves according to the goals set by people. If IKEA furniture is bought back and assembled by itself, it will be easy and convenient. Perhaps you will be wondering how Skylar and his self-assembly labs make wood, carbon fiber materials, etc. self-assembled. In fact, the whole process is not as magical as you think. In the case of carbon fiber, the laboratory only applies a temperature-sensitive coating to individual parts of the carbon fiber material - this coating is actually a real "can "Programming material", when the temperature changes abruptly, the coating changes, thereby controlling the shape of the substance to which it adheres. According to the connection report, self-assembly now begins with the use of "programmable materials" sensitive to temperature changes, and Autodesk, Carbitex and piggsAutomotiveCompany jointly develop a rear spoiler that automatically changes shape to allow the car to race. Have better performance in the process. Skylar believes that any material in the future is "programmable". "Computational power is no longer a patent for computers; in the future, everything has computing power."
