Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional (3D)-printing, have allowed researchers to create complex shapes previously impossible using traditional fabrication methods. A research branch that originated from 3D-printing called four-dimensional (4D)-printing involves printing with smart materials that can respond to external stimuli. 4Dprinting permits the creation of on-demand dynamically controllable shapes by integrating the dimension of time. Recent achievements in synthetic smart materials, novel printers, deformation mechanism, and mathematical modeling have greatly expanded the feasibility of 4D-printing. In this paper, progress in the 4Dprinting field is reviewed with a focus on its practical applications. We discuss smart materials developed using 4D-printing with explanations of their morphing mechanisms. Additionally, case studies are presented on self-constructing structures, medical devices, and soft robotics. We conclude with challenges and future opportunities in the field of 4D-printing.

“…13 The 4DP materials have been used as smart materials in drug delivery using 4DP containers, stent fabrication, splint fabrication and others. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The 4DP containers (printed using photolithography) are used to release pharmaceutical drugs at targeted locations when triggered by environmental stimuli. The stents are programmed in such a way that they can return to their initial shape aer implantation.…”
