What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

A team of researchers has developed a low-energy, scalable technique that can morph 2D materials into strong 3D structures ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

3D conversions like "Clash of the Titans" are becoming an accepted option for studios and filmmakers, but some tech insiders aren't satisfied with the results. By Carolyn Giardina, The Associated ...
