Abstract

Additive manufacturing of shape memory polymers (SMPs), commonly referred to as 4D printing, has garnered significant attention in recent years. This cutting-edge technology allows for the fabrication of objects with shape memory effect capabilities, enabling deformed materials to recover their original shape. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the SMP family and their functional performance. Additionally, we explore the latest advancements in 3D/4D printing techniques and their diverse applications. In conclusion, we take a glimpse into the future trends of additive manufacturing with SMPs, it becomes evident that through ongoing research and development, this transformative technology will persist in pushing boundaries and revolutionizing industries, spanning from healthcare and aerospace to consumer goods and beyond.
