description Structures as well as components are generated by depositing filaments on one another via the technique of additive manufacturing. Among the various processes of printing, 4D printing combines the technology of 3D printing with the passage of time, resulting in additively generated parts that are responsive to stimuli from the outside via modifications of their form, volume, size, or mechanical qualities. Thus, the materials of shape memory are used in 4D printing and respond to environmental factors including temperature, pH, and humidity. Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are materials with a shape memory effect that are best suited for additive manufacturing. Contrarily, the method named fused filament fabrication (FFF) is employed most frequently among all additive manufacturing methods. In this regard, the objective of the present study is to evaluate all investigations that have been conducted on 4D-FFF materials’ mechanical properties. The study offers an unparalleled overview that highlights the possibilities of 4D FFF printing across multiple applications in engineering while keeping the end structure’s or component’s structural integrity in consideration.
