One of those tools is 3D scanning. Using portable scanners, it is now possible to capture the full surface geometry of an object with high precision, without touching or damaging it. Every curve, ...

In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D ...

The accomplishment "paves the way for long-distance and long-duration missions where creating spare parts, construction components, and tools on demand will be essential." When you purchase through ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

Engineers at Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled a groundbreaking development in robotics: shapeshifting, 2D triangular robots that can transform into virtually ...

Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul Published Jun 13, 2023 10:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

Researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a neural inverse rendering method that accurately reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of moving objects using only three standard projection ...

The CRAFT Project (www.craft-project.net), led by Dr. Carlo Rindi Nuzzolo from 2022 to 2025, received research funding from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions under the European Union's Horizon 2020 ...

The new technique enables the generation of sharper, more lifelike 3D shapes — like these robotic bees — without the need to retrain or finetune a generative AI model. CAMBRIDGE, MA – Creating ...
