Hitem3D 2.0 adds a portrait mode described as “ strand-level fidelity ,” aiming to reconstruct head shape and facial ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.

Even with a well-organized NAS, which I like to think I have, STL files are uniquely bad at being self-describing. They're ...

Assistant Professor in Civil Engineering and Environmental Materials, Brunel University of London It’s often claimed that 3D printing – known in the trade as “additive manufacturing” – will change the ...

3D printing continues to creep its way into the rocket industry. SpaceX launched its first 3D-printed part, the body of a main oxidizer valve, back in 2014, for example. And Blue Origin is ...
