In this report, we introduce UltraShape 1.0, a scalable 3D diffusion framework for high-fidelity 3D geometry generation. The proposed approach adopts a two-stage generation pipeline: a coarse global ...

SAM 3D Objects is a foundation model that reconstructs full 3D shape geometry, texture, and layout from a single image, excelling in real-world scenarios with occlusion and clutter by using ...

Knitting may soon move beyond sweaters and scarves. A team of researchers at Cornell and Carnegie Mellon University has built a prototype knitting machine that can create solid, three-dimensional ...

Can you drill a hole in a cube that an identical cube could fall through? Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. One can ...

Shape primitive abstraction, which breaks down complex 3D forms into simple, interpretable geometric units, is fundamental to human visual perception and has important implications for computer vision ...

For the triangle, researchers captured proof that resonance occurs even with the notched, open corner, and it may occur in other instrument shapes as well. WASHINGTON, May 6, 2025 – The triangle is a ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

How a special nitinol compound and 3D printing was used to create the shape-shifting antenna. An overview of materials and heating problems they encountered, and how they overcame them. The test ...

Learning got hands-on and a little sticky in Mrs. Freilinger’s 1st grade class at Higgins Elementary as students explored 3D shapes using an engaging STEM activity involving toothpicks and ...
