When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual ...

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) can transform between initial and programmed shapes under certain stimuli and have promising potential in developing shape-adaptative bone scaffolds to treat irregular ...

But in 3D, these curvy, almost organic forms have no corners at all. Once the researchers identified the new shapes, they began to see them all over the place—in nature, art and architecture.

We present a novel neural network architecture, termed Decomposer-Composer, for semantic structure-aware 3D shape modeling. Our method utilizes an auto-encoder-based pipeline, and produces a novel ...

The shapes of rubbers and elastomers are challenging to alter, and current methods relying on permanent plasticity and dynamic cross-linking strategies are usually laborious and can inevitably ...

Once you’ve added a 3D shape to your 2D drawing, you can further adjust it by using the “Rotation” and “Resize” tools. These tools are located in the toolbar on the right-hand side of the screen. You ...

Figure 1 shows how BITE makes it possible to estimate a dog’s 3D form and attitude from a single input image. The model is able to work with a variety of breeds and types, as well as difficult poses ...

Technology Robots These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...

ATLAM eliminates the need for a master layup tool and can print parts to near net shape, both contributing to significant waste reduction. Traditional thermoset composite materials cannot be recycled ...

Composite 4D printing is more complex. Rather than using a soft, dough-like substance commonly used by 3D and 4D printers, it relies on a sinewy combination of long, fine filaments held in place ...

Thermwood, whose near-net-shape AM systems offer both print and trim on the same machine, will be printing the new PETG compound live at its booth in the machinery maker’s trademark color of orange.
