Abstract:
A composite film includes a substrate that is not responsive to relative humidity, and also one or more layers of hygromorphic material. The hygromorphic material expands in response to an increase in relative humidity and contracts in response to a decrease in relative humidity. In some cases, the composite film is bi-layer or tri-layer. The composite films are fabricated such that they undergo a desired bending pattern in response to changes in relative humidity. In some cases, these bending patterns are combinations of two bending primitives: a smooth curve and a sharply angled curve. These two primitives are combined to create a variety of shape transformations including 1D linear transformation, 2D surface expansion and contraction, 2.5D texture change and 3D folding. Any type of hygromorphic material may be employed, including living gram positive and gram negative bacterial cells, yeast cells, plant cells, mammalian cells, cell debris, or hydrogel.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the 3D printer is configured to apply hygromorphic material to a second side of the object in such a way that:\n (a) the amount of hygromorphic material that adheres to the second side varies substantially from region to region of the second side; (b) the hygromorphic material adheres in a second spatial distribution on the second side of the object, which second spatial distribution is the amount of hygromorphic material adhering to the second side as a function of spatial position; and (c) the hygromorphology of the object, after the hygromorphic material is applied to the second side, depends at least in part on the second spatial distribution; the second side being different than the first side.
