Replication Data for: Rationalising the onset of bistability in polylactic acid (PLA) bilayer laminates using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)

This dataset provides structured data of the bi-stability of bi-layer structure via fused filament fabrication-based 4D printing. The dataset accompanies the journal publication entitled "Rationalising the onset of bistability in polylactic acid (PLA) bilayer laminates using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)" in the journal Virtual and Physical Prototyping. It enables readers to reproduce key results presented in the paper regarding the bi-stability of the 3D printed bi-layer structure, including: 3D printing data such as stl file of the bi-layer structure and corresponding Gcode for printing Data of curvature measurement and bending energy Input, output and analyses data of thermal simulations (local temporal profiles and temperature fields, etc.) and calculation of crystallinity upbound DSC data of material thermal bahaviour Total data size: ~240 MB
