7. 3D becomes “4D”
MIT introduced a „4D‟ self-
assembling product. Via
„material bias,‟ this 3D-
printed object is capable of
self-assembling or changing
into another shape when
exposed to an outside factor
like motion, heat, water, light
or sound.

8. 3D takes flight fast
Boeing flew this UAV inside
the Edward Jones Dome just
a few weeks after receiving
mission requirements from
their client. Integrating off the
shelf electronics in a mission
specific design, the entire
aircraft was 3D-printed.

13. Printing a Face
After a tumor took the left
side of his face Eric Moger
had to use his hand to cover
the hole where his cheek
was in order to talk. Eating
and drinking were through a
tube. When a surgeon found
how to use a 3D printer to
restore Eric‟s face, the
operation changed his life.
