Researchers have developed photonic devices that manipulate light to enable innovative applications, like pocket-sized ...

In my attempt to create 3D content, I tried to scan several objects. In doing so, I learned several things about the process. First, you really do need a fast GPU.

The result is an all-in-one solution for producing full-color 3D objects. Sample color output from the printer. Textures can be created in third-party software and saved as .obj files for use with the ...

When it comes to creating objects with vastly different physical properties, materials fail either at the interface or when they come in contact with each other. The condition is similar to how the ...

Point-E doesn’t create 3D objects in the traditional sense. Rather, it generates point clouds, or discrete sets of data points in space that represent a 3D shape — hence the cheeky abbreviation.

It’s a 3D scanner built in a very hacker fashion. The X-Y stage that moves the sample is from a KES-400a Blu-Ray drive, salvged from the original “fat” Playstation 3.

OpenAI quietly released a research paper regarding Shap-E, a tool that turns text into 3D objects. ... Next, double-click “sample_image_to_3d.ipynb” to try the image-to-3d script.

Optical trapping can manipulate the three-dimensional (3D) motion of spherical particles based on the simple prediction of optical forces and the responding motion of samples. However, controlling ...

Larger consumer 3D printers can handle objects a little over a cubic foot. It’s also possible to make a large object by assembling several smaller parts. The $30 3D scanner V7 by Dave Clarke.
