IBM secures patent for 4D printing — smart material uses ML for transporting microparticles
A machine learning algorithm controls the 3D printer material to transport microparticles practically anywhere.
According to the , these smart materials can use shape-memory alloys or polymers that respond to external forces like temperature, light, magnetism, or electrical currents. The user must initially set the delivery path and its environmental conditions and note the item's size, shape, weight, and composition to be delivered.
