The second international 4D Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing 2023 (4DMDA 2023) Conference is organized by the 4D Printing Society. 4DMDA 2023 showcases the latest developments and technologies in smart materials, intelligent designs, modeling, additive manufacturing, and 3D/4D printing, alongside the current issues of concern in the further development of 3D/4D printed devices. It will provide a forum for internationally recognized experts and young scientists working in the fields of smart materials, advanced modeling, and 3D/4D printing technologies to present their work.
This conference will be hosted in hybrid mode (in-person at Georgia Tech’s Technology Square Research Building, Atlanta, USA, and online format). The event will take place on September 7-8, 2023.
4DMDA 2023 talks schedule is avialable: 4DMDA 2023 Schedule -Atlanta Time -7-8 Septemebr
4D Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing Conference 2023 aims to bring together the most recent research on a variety of exciting topics such as (but not limited to):
- Design methods for smart materials and additive manufacturing using artificial intelligence, topological optimization, etc.
- New materials, design, and functionalities (digital materials, auxetics, lattices, metamaterials, smart materials in robotics, biomaterials, 3D/4D-printed soft robots, etc.)
- Advanced additive manufacturing techniques of smart materials (4D printing, bioprinting, multi-material printing, AM processes, hybrid AM, closed-loop 3D printing, etc.)
- Advanced modeling and simulation (mechanics of materials, constitutive modeling, shape memory effects, multi-physics, stimuli-responsive, coupling effects, etc.)
- Characterization and innovative properties (morphing, mechanical, fatigue, aging, etc.)
- Industrialization and applications (health, aerospace, automotive, defense, civil, etc.)
- Current issues of concern in the further development of 4D materials, design, and additive manufacturing.
The event will be live considering the different time zones. Each presentation will be recorded and then stored on the website so it will be accessible to registered participants.
