Abstract
4D printing is one of the unconventional manufacturing processes that is has been developing rapidly these yearsthe recent years. It adds the time dimension to 3D printed objects. The feature alteration takes place in this method that means the printed object would be changedchanges during withthe time. The change can be in shape or function due to different environmental conditions. This interesting propertytechnology can be utilized in biomedical and aerospace industires as well as any applications can be applied in biomedical devices, space industry, etc. and any other applications in which the change of shape/function is needed.
