Any object in Cinema 4D can have an ‘Align to Spline’ tag placed on it, which moves the object along the length of the spline and keeps it headed in the direction of the spline.

With 4D printing, just add water, and you have your object. They could possibly even last longer, and be more adaptable. Thank you LiveScience for providing us with this information.

Wherein most 3D printers are designed to create objects that have to remain rigid in structure and shape, 4D printing, as it is called, allows the 3D printed objects to change their shape and ...

The fourth dimension in 4D printing refers to materials that are able to change and mutate over time when exposed to water, temperature changes and/or air to self assemble. 4D object formats will ...

In the same way, the 4D Toys app presents only limited slivers of 4D objects. You get to move the third-dimension slider and see how a person stuck in a 2D existence might perceive 3D objects.

Uses for the new 4D Office Object Library include integration of 4D applications with Apple’s iCal and Address Book applications, to facilitate smartphone and PDA synchronization.

Proposed by scientists at MIT, 4D printing can revolutionize the way objects are not only printed but also created and used. The idea, unveiled first by MIT scientist and TED fellow Skyler Tibbits ...
