: André explores the deep connection between the chemical/physical properties of materials and the digital algorithms used to shape them, a concept he links to modern "dataism". Industrial Impact
: A significant portion of this volume focuses on applying these additive techniques to medicine , including the creation of living tissue and organs through multi-material printing. From additive manufacturing to 3D/4D printing 3...
: While 3D printing creates static objects, 4D printing adds the dimension of time . By using smart materials that respond to stimuli—such as heat, light, or water—objects can change their shape or function after being printed. : André explores the deep connection between the
: The book discusses how computational design allows for materials to be "programmed" at the micro-level to perform specific physical tasks, reducing the need for external motors or complex assembly. By using smart materials that respond to stimuli—such
