Upcoming Partner Conferences (1)

Dublin, Ireland
The 5th International 4D Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing Conference 2026 (4DMDA 2026) is being organised by Dublin City University and the 4D Printing Society. The conference will showcase the latest developments and technologies in smart materials, metamaterials, intelligent designs, modelling, additive manufacturing, and 3D/4D printing. It seeks to address current concerns in the development of 3D-/4D-printed devices and provides a forum for internationally recognised experts and young scientists working in the abovementioned fields to present their work.
The 4D Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing Conference 2026 aims to bring together the most recent research on a variety of exciting topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Design methods for smart materials and additive manufacturing using computational techniques (artificial intelligence, optimisation, geometric reasoning, etc.).
- The development of new functional and active materials.
- Characterisation methods for functional and active materials.
- The design of metamaterials and metastructures, lattice generation strategies.
- Advanced additive manufacturing techniques for smart materials (multi-material techniques, hybrid additive manufacturing, closed-loop 3D printing, bioprinting, etc.).
- Advanced modelling and simulation (mechanics of materials, constitutive modelling, shape memory effects, multi-physics, stimuli-responsive effects, coupling effects, etc.).
- Industrialisation and applications (health, sport, aerospace, automotive, defence, civil, etc., applications).
The 4D Printing Society invites abstracts and papers from researchers, students, and working professionals from academia as well as industry within the scope of the conference topics.
A half-day workshop/training school will also be held one day before the conference (8 July 2026) for students, early-career researchers, and professionals interested in advanced materials and manufacturing.
