The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined to make a ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

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 little bit of sleuthing through the layers of tabs, ribbons, menus and buttons on the Microsoft Word workspace reveals that you can do quite a bit more than just typing flat characters on a document ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

Three-dimensional printing has been used to create all sorts of things, from car parts and experimental rocket engines to entire houses. Now scientists at MIT have found a way to 3D print objects that ...
