    A way of flat printing 2D objects which can be turned into 3D items simply by immersing them in hot water has been developed by scientists.

    The technique uses origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

    These 2D printed shapes self-fold in seconds

    The team said 3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object.

    The process usually wastes a lot of material required to support the unfinished object.

    The researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material.

    For some time, 3D printing has been used to prototype products and is now seeing more use in the fabrication of commercial items, including even parts for jet engines.

    But every method of 3D fabrication comes with limitations, such as the long time taken to complete prints or the wastage of vestigial materials in printing.

    The new system allows printed objects to self-fold into complex 3D shapes under the right conditions.

    The team from the University of Tokyo in Japan have called this self-folding system 4D printing.

    A way of flat printing 2D objects which can be turned into 3D items simply by immersing them in hot water has been developed by scientists.

    The technique uses origami, the Japanese art of paper folding.

    These 2D printed shapes self-fold in seconds

    The team said 3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object.

    The process usually wastes a lot of material required to support the unfinished object.

    The researchers combined 2D printing, origami, and chemistry to create a method of rapid 3D object fabrication without creating any waste material.

    For some time, 3D printing has been used to prototype products and is now seeing more use in the fabrication of commercial items, including even parts for jet engines.

    But every method of 3D fabrication comes with limitations, such as the long time taken to complete prints or the wastage of vestigial materials in printing.

    Dutch couple become Europe’s first inhabitants of a 3D-printed house. New home in shape of boulder is first legally habitable property with load-bearing walls made using 3D-printing technology
    A Dutch couple have become Europe’s first tenants of a fully 3D printed house in a development that its backers believe will open up a world of choice in the shape and style of the homes of the future. Elize Lutz, 70, and Harrie Dekkers, 67, retired shopkeepers from Amsterdam, received their digital key – an app allowing them to open the front door of their two-bedroom bungalow at the press of a button – on Thursday. “It is beautiful,” said Lutz. “It has the feel of a bunker – it feels safe,” added Dekkers. Inspired by the shape of a boulder, the dimensions of which would be difficult and expensive to construct using traditional methods, the property is the first of five homes planned by the construction firm Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for a plot of land by the Beatrix canal in the Eindhoven suburb of Bosrijk.

    Dutch couple become Europe’s first inhabitants of a 3D-printed house. New home in shape of boulder is first legally habitable property with load-bearing walls made using 3D-printing technology
    A Dutch couple have become Europe’s first tenants of a fully 3D printed house in a development that its backers believe will open up a world of choice in the shape and style of the homes of the future. Elize Lutz, 70, and Harrie Dekkers, 67, retired shopkeepers from Amsterdam, received their digital key – an app allowing them to open the front door of their two-bedroom bungalow at the press of a button – on Thursday. “It is beautiful,” said Lutz. “It has the feel of a bunker – it feels safe,” added Dekkers. Inspired by the shape of a boulder, the dimensions of which would be difficult and expensive to construct using traditional methods, the property is the first of five homes planned by the construction firm Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix for a plot of land by the Beatrix canal in the Eindhoven suburb of Bosrijk.
