Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

3D-printed food is still a technology that is at least a few years away, right? Try telling that to Melissa Snover, the creator and managing director of the Katjes Magic Candy Factory, a chain of ...

Shape-from-shading (SFS) is a computer vision technique that draws upon light and shadow patterns to reconstruct an object's ...

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 ...

A computational design tool created by researchers at Carnegie Mellon and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology lets you fold a piece of metal or plastic into a “complex 3D shape” like a mask or ...

Inside the Silicon Valley factory of a startup called Sakuu, a new type of 3D printer is reinventing how batteries are made. The technique, which prints using thin layers of powder, can change what ...

Four people dressed as detectives walk past with magnifying glasses. NARRATOR: This song is all about shapes. Not flat shapes like circles and squares, but solid shapes like cubes and cones. Let’s ...

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 researchers ...

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 ...
