Abstract: The application of structured light (SL) techniques has achieved remarkable success in three-dimensional (3D) measurements. Traditional methods generally calculate SL information pixel by ...

According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D printed aluminum alloys ... is made of a few identical ...

The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron ... The alloy formed under the extreme conditions of metal 3D printing, a new way to make metal parts.
