Connect with our Research Connections: 4D Printing for Bioinspired and Biobased Design

Our Research Connections series highlights design and make work in the industries Autodesk serves. In this installment, Tiffany Cheng, Assistant Professor in Cornell University’s Department of Design Tech, shares insights into her research on 4D-printing for bioinspired and biobased design.

What if our buildings and products could be manufactured and operated the way biological systems grow and adapt? As an alternative to conventional construction and manufacturing, this talk introduces 4D-printing for leveraging biobased materials and bioinspired design principles for applications ranging from self-adjusting wearables for the body to weather-responsive shading in buildings.
