Hands-on Exploration of Hybrid 4D Printing Design Space

ABSTRACT

4D printing is an emerging field of fabrication garnering interest from the HCI community in its potential applications. In this work we present a hands-on exploration of the hybrid design space for 4D printing which makers can utilize to create their own artifacts by designing parts to control their bend, supply different heat triggers, and integrate craft techniques based on the intended use.
