These self-morphing 3D wood shapes could be future of wood manufacturing Someday, wood furniture could be shipped flat and then dried to form a final shape.

For the last three decades, biologists and computer scientists have dedicated significant effort to quantifying the 3D shape of cells and analyzing their interactions.

In a 2D the answer is two, and a 3D space can be tiled in shapes that have no corners at all, called soft cells. These shapes can be made in a few different ways, and some are shown here.

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.
