Global 4D Printing Market Overview:
3D printing refers to the three-dimensional stereoscopic film which creates an illusion of depth perception, hence adding a third dimension. Taking 3D printed object and adding the ability of transformation by embedding a program directly into the material themselves is 4D printing. It is the process through which a 3D printed object transforms itself into another structure. However, this adds the dimension of transformation over time.

Latest Market Insights:
In April 2023, Stratasys Completes the Acquisition of Covestro’s Additive Manufacturing Materials Business. The acquisition, which is immediately accretive, includes R&D facilities and activities, global development and sales teams across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, a portfolio of approximately 60 additive manufacturing materials, and an extensive IP portfolio comprised of hundreds of patents and patents pending.
January 2019 - Autodesk developed the new generative design software that works directly with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printers. The design-to-print workflow for additive manufacturing was designed specifically for HP’s 3D printers, with the goal of streamlining the conversion of digital design to the physical part. In addition to working with HP, the company is also working with GE Additive to create an integrated workflow for GE 3D printer, which will then lead to the advancement in 4D printing techniques.
