Designers, makers, and others often use 3D printing to rapidly prototype a range of functional objects, from movie props to ...

A new technique enables makers to finely tune the color, shade, and texture of 3D-printed objects using only one material. The method is faster and uses less material than other approaches.

By quickly generating aesthetically accurate previews of fabricated objects, the VisiPrint system could make prototyping ...

Researchers at MIT develop AI-assisted preview tool for 3D printing that generates appearance-first renderings of objects ...

3D models drawn in Blender work great in a computer animated virtual world but don’t always when brought into a slicer for 3D printing. Slicers require something which makes sense in the real world.

Apple's research team has developed ' LiTo,' an AI model that can reconstruct 3D objects from a single image while consistently maintaining reflections, highlights, and other effects from various ...

A new nanostructured flat surface that appears like a 3D object – complete with realistic light shading and shadows – has been developed by Alexander Minovich, Anatoly Zayats and colleagues at Kings ...

Apple on Monday debuted a beta version of Reality Converter, a Mac app that allows developers to convert, view and customize USDZ 3D objects using a simple drag-and-drop interface. The app supports a ...
