What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

A team of researchers has developed a low-energy, scalable technique that can morph 2D materials into strong 3D structures ...

Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

A team led by aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor Jeff Baur has developed a low-energy, scalable technique that ...

Copilot 3D will turn your 2D images into 3D models. The tool is freely available to anyone, though you do need a Microsoft account. Microsoft suggests using an image with a single subject, even ...

So, you got a 3D printer for the holidays, and you’re excited to dive in. Chances are, you’re not sure where to begin. What can you print? What’s fun? What’s useful? Justifying the purchase of a 3D ...
