Abstract:
3D and 4D printing (3DP/4DP) are modern additive manufacturing (AM) technologies used to produce a wide range of products with complex geometries from three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) model data, retrospectively. The 3D/4D printing process consists of printing successive very thin layers of material that are formed on top of each other. It is used as one of the ten main technologies in the concept of a new generation of digitized factories called ”Industry 4.0”. This is a new and very interesting field, as evidenced by the large number of 3D/4D printers produced and used in production facilities, as well as the large number of products made using this technology, the large number of publications in well-known global citation databases, and the large number of reported and accepted applications of patents. 3D and 4D printing (3DP/4DP), compared to traditional production processes, has several advantages, such as: production of complex product geometry with high precision, maximum material savings, flexibility in design, etc. So, as of 2019, they represent the most dominant production processes in all industrial sectors. 3D and 4D printing involves different processing methods, materials and equipment. The wide range of materials currently used in 3D and 4D printing includes all three main groups of composite materials based on ceramics or abbreviated CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composites), metal or MMC (Metal Matrix Composites) and polymers or PMC (Polymer Matrix Composites). The paper provides an analysis of the application of 3D and 4D printing of composite materials with special reference to the types of CMC, MMC and/or PMC materials that are processed and the recommended parameters for their processing.
