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

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Recent advancements at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory show that 3D-printed metal molds offer a ...

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.

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to grow cartilage from stem cells and guide it into basically any shape required ... hollow, 3D-printed “spheroids” that can be connected ...

The process uses acoustic pressure to mold silica gel microspheres and other materials into complex 3D shapes. Pulling that off isn't easy. The team first had to learn how to create complex ...

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.

or discrete sets of data points in space that represent a 3D shape — hence the cheeky abbreviation. (The “E” in Point-E is short for “efficiency,” because it’s ostensibly faster than ...

One layer at a time, the laser melts the powder into a solid shape. 3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible with any other method. For example, in 2015 GE designed fuel nozzles for ...
