Additive manufacturing (AM) of smart materials has gained significant attention in recent years for its ability to enable the design and production of intelligent, multifunctional products. This workshop explores the opportunities and challenges associated with 3D and 4D printing of smart materials, with a special focus on shape memory materials. Participants will first be introduced to various AM techniques and the design principles specific to each process. The workshop then presents practical case studies showcasing the AM processes used for both shape memory alloys and smart polymers. In addition, attendees will learn about the latest optimization and modeling tools that can enhance additively manufactured parts. The workshop is led by Dr. Mehrshad Mehrpouya, Assistant Professor at the University of Twente, and author of two published books on additive manufacturing of smart materials. https://books.google.nl/books?id=HLAKEQAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&ots=0W9gmwM401&dq=info%3Az7ihxiKleQgJ%3Ascholar.google.com&lr&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.it/books?id=pa-zEAAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&ots=vY2wnUk1h-&lr&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false
