Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes. University of Texas at Arlington researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

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 a ...

3D has been incredibly useful in all of my concept art and matte painting work in animation, games and movies. Knowing how to ...

For similar 2D and 3D shapes, there is a relationship between the length scale factor and the area, surface area or volume of the enlarged shapes. Areas increase by a factor equivalent to the length ...

3D shapes can be made from 2D shapes called nets. Watch the video to learn how 3D shapes, such as a cube, can be created from nets, an arrangement of 2D shapes. Let's talk about nets. More ...

Scientists have used a low cost method of 3D printing to create structures that fold themselves into different shapes, an advance that could improve the outcomes of bone implants. The researchers at ...
