With the concept of informed matter, there must be a possibility to modify the shape of objects in time (4D printing), to print living matter (bio-printing), etc. It is thus conceivable to come closer to life by flirting with its possible prolongation!


This questioning, like 3D printing pushed to its limits (nanomanufacturing, micro-fluidics, electronics and robotics) associated with other domains, does not correspond to an economic market present today, but instead, if researchers, breaking with the traditions of incremental innovation, succeed (thanks to a bit of creativity and epistemic exploration), immense markets (relative to the “modest” market today amounting to 10 billion euros per year) should open up. The illustrative example of bio-printing which could correspond to a market worth several hundred billion euros per year is a great demonstration of the stakes linked to research concerning initial findings, presented in Volume 3.
