"Skylar Tibbits, an architect, designer and computer scientist recently presented a new concept at TED 2013: 4D printing. Skylar Tibbits' research focuses on developing self-assembly technologies for large-scale structures in the physical environment. In a collaboration between Stratasys’ Education, R&D departments and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab, a new process is being developed. Skylar Tibbits calls it 4D printing, where materials can be reprogrammed to self-assemble into new structures, directly off the print-bed."
