Опубликована: Фев. 11, 2025

Abstract 4D printing combines advancements in 3D with smart materials that change properties response to external stimuli, enabling the fabrication of functional devices directly from printer. Microscale is rapidly growing, driving discovery and applications new strategies. The interest microscale comes its potential propel industrial transformation across different sectors, ranging advanced healthcare cryptography. However, this requires rational design a good understanding material response. This review starts by describing for printing. technologies micrometer resolution their use are then discussed. focus shifts stimuli respond to, mechanism behind obtained shape changes respect applied methods implemented so far realize complex changing behaviors. Examples within sensing, microactuation, data encryption, cargo transport shown. After discussing current challenges mitigation strategies, suggestions on direction field can take given, starting systematic iterative approach developing microstructures.
