Methods for additive manufacturing of an object

A method for additive manufacturing of an object, the method comprising:

• dispensing a multiplicity of layers of a first polymerizable formulation from a three-dimensional printer, the first polymerizable formulation being a first additive manufacturing material;
• dispensing a multiplicity of layers of a second polymerizable formulation from a three-dimensional printer, the second polymerizable formulation being a second additive manufacturing material;
• wherein post-polymerization and in response to an external stimulus, the second polymerizable formulation is lower swelling than the first polymerizable formulation;
• the first and second additive manufacturing materials arranged relative to each other to form first and second joints in series that enable a predicted transformation of the object from a first manufactured shape to a second manufactured shape in response to an external stimulus, the external stimulus being non-biasing with respect to the predicted transformation from the first manufactured shape to the second manufactured shape;
• wherein for each of the first and second joints, the second additive manufacturing material is arranged to form a planar member within the joint, at least two members that extend outward from the joint, and at least two members within the joint that contact each other during the predicted transformation to restrict degree of curvature of the joint;
• wherein for each of the first and second joints, the first additive manufacturing material is arranged on the planar member of the joint;
• and
• wherein the planar members of the first and second joints are not parallel to each other.
