| dc.description.abstract | Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. This research investigates the communication barriers between designers and engineers in designing 4D Printing parts. We have proposed a conceptual design framework for 4D Printing symbols as the communication tool. Then, we have recruited sixty-fifty designers and engineers who participated in our online experiments. The focus of the online survey is to find out how designers and engineers understand reciprocal communication by using the proposed symbols. Our results showed that 85% of participants could understand the 4D Printing symbols correctly. The study concludes that using the conceptual framework can help designers and engineers communicate 4D Printing element information and stimulate design ideas effectively. | en_US |
