Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

Robots and autonomous vehicles can use 3D point clouds from LiDAR sensors and camera images to perform 3D object detection. However, current techniques that combine both types of data struggle to ...

3D scanning is important because the ability to digitize awkward or troublesome shapes from the real world can really hit the spot. One can reconstruct objects by drawing them up in CAD, but when ...

Three-dimensional modeling sits at the heart of modern design, engineering, and fabrication. Yet for blind and low-vision ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But ...

3D printers are extreme precision instruments. It's easy to forget just how miraculous it is to have a tiny box in your house ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developed that enables a 3D character on screen to perfectly mimic the motion of a 2D character in a photograph. This is expected to significantly ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Since 3D printers debuted in the 1980s, the devices have been used ...

Floating displays you can reach into and manipulate, like the ones Tony Stark uses to design his super suits in the Iron Man movies, are one step closer to reality. A new device renders 3-D graphics ...

Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model ...
