3-D shape data has become an integral part of the product design process. "First, the database allows the designers to more easily check population distribution with multiple range restriction ...

But going forward, thanks largely to consolidation, customers in the 3-D printing market will find it easier to make the right choice quickly. ... Four Trends That Will Shape 3-D Printing In 2024.

Researchers at TU Delft have combined origami techniques and 3-D printing to create flat structures that can fold themselves into 3-D structures like tulips. The structures self-fold according to ...

Shapes like these can be created using a new design tool that interprets hand gestures, enabling designers and artists to create and modify 3-D shapes using just their hands as a "natural user ...

3-D scanning with water 3-D shape acquisition using water displacement as the shape sensor for the reconstruction of complex objects Date: July 21, 2017 Source: Association for Computing Machinery ...

The 3-D shapes that they build look strange, with broad plains, subtle bends and a zigzag seam that hints at how the objects were formed.

Researchers have found optimal configurations for creating 3-D geometric shapes — like tiny, highly simplified geodesic domes that assemble by themselves. The team developed the algorithmic ...

In 2013, Lewis’ lab was the first to make 3-D printed batteries using lithium-ion chemistry (Adv. Mat. 2013, DOI: 10.1002/adma.201301036).Because the materials in these batteries are water ...

You can see above how we see objects in depth. "To illustrate how complex three-dimensional shape could be encoded at the population level, five two-Gaussian tuning models (red, green, blue, cyan ...

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers with Johns Hopkins University and MIT has found a way to cause flat sheets of graphene to self-fold into 3-D geometric shapes. In their paper published on the ...

The evolving 3-D printing process excites people for several reasons. The technology's capable of making complex shapes quickly, and it's a great way to produce parts to test for form and function ...
