Evolution of 5D Printing and Its Vast Applications: A Review

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Recent Advances in Materials and Modern Manufacturing

Abstract

3D printing is one among the foremost successful yet controversial technology which is employed in various fields like aerospace, automobile industry, fashion, and ornamental designing, marine, orthodontics, prosthetics and various implants, agile tooling, and assorted applications. Albeit ample applications have numerous drawbacks. Those drawbacks are subjugated by 4D printing, which have introduced shape memory effect (SME) including one-way SMEs, two-way SMEs, and three-way SMEs. On amelioration of 3D printing, 5D printing has been introduced to develop streamlined products as an outcome. In this paper, the evolution and its vast applications are discussed briefly with its superiority.
