The past few years have seen the introduction of a number of 3D and 4D printingtechniques used to process tough hydrogel materials. The use of‘color’ 3D printing technology where multiple inks areused in the one print allows for the production of composite materials andstructures that can further enhance the mechanical performance of the printedhydrogel. This article reviews a number of 3D and 4D printing techniques forfabricating functional hydrogel based devices.
