These 3-D Shapes Are All Madness and Zero Photoshop Charlie Kitchen uses elaborate analog techniques and an old-fashioned camera to make these deceptively simple collages.

Researchers from Finland and Taiwan have discovered how graphene, a single-atom-thin layer of carbon, can be forged into three-dimensional objects by using laser light. A striking illustration was ...

New 3-D printed robotic structures can squeeze in tight spaces like a crack in the wall of a cave, jump over trip wire or crawl under a vehicle -- all complex Army-relevant functions impossible ...

At what point will 3D printing move beyond novelty to industry? Will these machines change the way we manufacture goods, and subsequently change the global economy, too?

My favorite shape is the loop, a circle with all geometric information stripped away, leaving only a free-form one-dimensional object.

Shapes like these can be created using a new design tool that interprets hand gestures, enabling designers and artists to create and modify 3-D shapes using just their hands as a "natural user ...

A computer scientist has created a new software that can create a design sketch of an everyday object, addressing the challenge of accurately describing shapes.
