4D Printing

Of course we all know of the possibilities of 3D Printing but what about the 4D version? 4D Printing allows those with the technology to print a device and then have that device change after based on heat, chemicals, and so forth. In other words with 4D Printing they can create 'flexible' items. Thoughts?

Hard part here for me is application.

So you print off a bowl from which you eat your soup and buy the time you finish the bowl due to temperature heating up and cooling it turns into a plate. Might be good for picnics so why not.

Scary part is I could make some cool items to smuggle on a plane which then could morph into a knife or gun with a side of bullets.

Yes, the evil minded will see this as a tool for their dark pleasure. This was also presented as an 'option' in the documentary I saw for it. I believe the issue will be the chemical composition of the material being used as 'ink' for the 4D printer thus making it a hard find. Probably they will have to restrict the use.

Restricting the use and regulating it is a great idea but the darker elements will always finds a way. No worse then dirty USSR bombs.
