A curtain opens on a stage to reveal different shaped animated characters - a sphere, a cube and a pyramid. NARRATOR: It's crunch time for the 3D crew. And who's going to take home the coveted, and ...

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The researchers ...

Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces. In computer ...

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 Nvidia Corp. closed out this year’s GTC 2024 conference today by unveiling a new, more powerful text-to-3D generative artificial intelligence model. It’s called LATTE3D, and it works by ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has applied relatively simple tissue modeling and cell patterning techniques to generate highly precise 3D shapes, including ...

Embryo and organ development is driven in large part by the sculpting of sheets of cells called epithelia. Epithelial sheets have a remarkable repertoire of behaviours — they can narrow and elongate ...

Flat-pack furniture is commonplace, and flat-pack pasta might be one day too. Wen Wang of Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania and her colleagues have developed edible 2D pasta that swells into ...
