The so-called 4D printing, is a kind of automatic deformation of the material, simply put it into the water, without any complicated mechanical and electrical equipment, can be automatically folded into the corresponding shape according to the product design, and the most important part of the 4D printing is memory alloy. At present, standing on the forefront of the technology is the founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since the assembly laboratory Tibbits Skylar, 4D printing pioneer.

3D printing only to create a three-dimensional object, and 4D printing object is required to use the smart material to achieve, and through such as heat, water, electric current, sound or pressure and other stimulation activation. According to market research firm MarketsandMarkets in the latest Market Research Report 4D printing market material, the end user industry and Region - Global Trends and forecasts, 2019 - 2025 (Printing Market by Material End-User, Industry & Trends Global & Geography & to 4D & & Forecasts & & 2025), is expected to 2019, 4D printing market will reach $555600000, 2025 will reach $2019, 4D printing is at the edge of commercialization.

Materials, such as programmable carbon fiber, programmable wood materials and programmable textiles, MarketsandMarkets is expected to be programmed with carbon fiber will be the largest share in the entire 4D printing materials market, the report said the 2019 carbon fiber materials will occupy 62% of the market share.

In addition, marketsandmarkets said the forefront of national defense will be located in the 4D printing market overall growth, 2019 and military related applications will account for 55% of the market share, and the rest of the share will be vested in the field of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and 3D systems, Autodesk, exone, Hewlett Packard, Organovo and STRATASYS, is expected to will become the main participants of the 4D printing market.
