Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

One of those tools is 3D scanning. Using portable scanners, it is now possible to capture the full surface geometry of an object with high precision, without touching or damaging it. Every curve, ...

The real novelty is, of course, the glasses-free 3D tech. Abxylute describes it as, "electronic parallax barrier technology, the most mature and reliable form of glasses-free 3D tech today to balance ...

Last year, Roblox launched an open source AI model that could generate 3D objects on the platform, helping users quickly design digital items such as furniture, vehicles, and accessories. The company ...

New 3D scans of tropical rainforests give scientists better data on forest biomass, boosting carbon tracking and satellite ...

3D printers aren't just for making random statues and toys, as admittedly fun as that is. They are tools that can create just about anything out of nothing but plastic filament, and if you put your ...

When you hear the words "3D printing," what first comes to mind is most likely some sort of simple and hobbyist consumer item. These cool 3D printer possibilities can include action figures and model ...
