Maintaining these evaluation techniques has brought continuity to the everexpanding technology that has changed how engineering graphics is presented.

The concept of 4D printing emerged during a 2012 TED conference [18] when Tibbitsdemonstrated how a static printed object changed over time (Figure 1), which marked a kick-startto the 4D printing technology where the fourth dimension is time. Since then, 4D printing hasbecome a new and exciting branch of 3D printing, gaining considerable attention from researchersand engineers in various disciplines
