Further folding so that the shape of the device resembles that of a building on the map switches the view to a 3D SketchUp model of the displayed building ready to be sent to a 3D printer.

Meanwhile, antibodies in the immune system are proteins that fold into specific shapes which latch onto invading bugs.

Anycubic's foldable 3D printer combines portability and performance, shrinking down to 75mm while still printing models up to 460mm in height.

A 3D close 3DThree-dimensions, length, width, and height. shape can be made from a 2D close 2DTwo-dimensions, length, and width. shape called a net close netA group of joined 2D shapes which fold ...

Paul McEuen, a physicist at Cornell University, has folded graphene sheets into different shapes and cut it in strategic places to make flexible, foldable 3D "Kirigami" structures.

Some 3D shapes, like cubes and pyramids, can be opened or unfolded along their edges to create a flat shape. The unfolded shape is called the net of the solid. Here are some 3D shapes and their nets.

They've discovered that they can 'hack' special cells that help fold tissue (mesenchymal cells) to create 3D shapes out of live tissue.

Folding PaperFold into the shape of a 3D building on the map will pick up a Google SketchUp model of the building and turn the device into an architectural model that can be 3D printed.

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 ...

Technology Robots These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...

This smart algorithm not only manages to fold any 3D shape out of a piece of paper -- but does so with the minimal amount of seams.
