Shape Morphing

4D printing introduces time as the fourth dimension by adding external stimuli, enabling the 3D printed structures to self morphing into complex 3D form. 

Our lab using PLA and SMP to make the bilayered mask, presenting a way to manufacture complax 3D curved shell.

Fully convolusional networks (FCN) excel at image segmentation. They retain the spatial dimension of the input data throughout the network, and particularly effective for pixel-level predictions.

Our lab using FCN to enhance our mask design process,  which analyzes and predicts the complex mask patterns needed for successful 4D printing transformations.
