AI-generated 3D modeling belonged to research labs and Hollywood studios. Today, it’s seeping into classrooms, social media ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. Later, ...

We’ve often thought that 3D printers make excellent school projects. No matter what a student’s interests are: art, software, ...

Researchers have developed a magnetically controlled polymer ‘Chinese lantern’ that can transform into over a dozen curved 3D shapes when compressed or twisted, an advance with potential applications ...

You’ve seen it in movies and shows — the hero takes a blurry still picture, and with a few keystrokes, generates a view from a different angle or sometimes even a full 3D model. Turns out, thanks to ...

Two notable 3D-printed projects mark milestones in the new construction technique of “printing” structures with specialized concrete. In Athens, Tennessee, Walmart hired Alquist 3D to build a ...

A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by ...

On a recent afternoon in a whitewashed lab in Portland’s Roux Institute, the nozzle inside a massive, whirring 3D printer was squeezing out a plastic surfboard like frosting from a pastry bag. When ...
