Advances in Additive Manufacturing using Shape Memory materials have found widespread use in medical, aerospace and automotive sectors. 4D Printed parts with shape memory and stimuli responsive materials can be programmed for transformation, actuation and self-assembly. This offers the potential to foster the development of specialized high- value products that can operate passively without an external power source and with fewer electromechanical components. To reach a high level of industrial maturity, standards are needed to accurately represent shape transformations to enable design engineers to accurately communicate the functional requirements for manufacturing; as well as for metrologists and test engineers to inspect for product quality control. However, a fundamental challenge exists: How do we ensure that the design, manufacturing and functional intent for 4D Printed parts are accurately and unambiguously communicated between stakeholders across the design, manufacturing, inspection and supply value chain? This paper proposes a new standard for technical product documentation, geometric product specification and engineering drawings within British Standard BS 8888. To illustrate how the proposed standard could be applied, a use-case with different shape transformation properties are considered in a workflow.

for article titled, A Need for New Standards: Communicating Shape Transformations in the Technical Documentation of Products
Advances in additive manufacturing have enabled functional grading and multi-material deposition to produce “4D printed” parts that are net or near net shape; creating highly complex features that are difficult to produce with conventional manufacturing processes. This article addresses the fundamental challenge of how to ensure that the design, manufacturing, and functional intent for 4D printed parts can be accurately and unambiguously communicated across the design, manufacturing, inspection, and supply value chain. The use case of a generic mini-gripper sheds light on the benefits that a new standard could bring to the engineering and design of shape memory materials.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers expansive design freedoms for realizing parts that are more complex and customized than their conventionally fabricated counterparts, but all AM technologies impose restrictions on buildable geometries and features. Design rules capture those restrictions in the form of best practices to successfully design for AM. This article discusses how design rules can potentially support and accelerate the process of developing part geometry for AM. The discussion provides examples of design rules that are independent of any specific AM process and then discusses design rules specific to particular AM processes.
