3D scanning and 3D printing may sound like a natural match for one another, but they don’t always play together as easily and nicely as one would hope. I’ll explain what one can expect by highlighting ...

In 3D printing, size really doesn't matter. If you like a 3D object, you can scale it up or down easily and print at exactly the size you need. Unlike items sold in a store, you have total control ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending ...

Computer-aided engineering (CAD) is a $9 billion industry, and Onshape wants to shake it up. So the cloud-based CAD tool maker is using Magic Leap’s augmented reality glasses to enable engineers to ...

A novel 3D printing technique suspends light-curing resin in a gelatinous medium rather than using conventional structural support material during the build process. The gel acts as an omnidirectional ...

Interested in 3D-printing, and OpenSCAD specifically, which is open source scripting-based software for creating 3D CAD objects? This book may be for you. Thanks to our Technology Editor, Steve Bush, ...

While 3D-modeling software is used to design everything from sports cars to mind-blowing models for video games, casual CAD-viewing tools tend to have the visual appeal of a tax form. They're often ...

STL (stereo lithography) files are the pathway for importing complex shapes from SolidWorks, ProE and other 3D CAD programs into MetaMesh, the Field Precision conformal mesh generator. Because of the ...

Meta's new image segmentation models can identify objects and people and reconstruct them in 3D - SiliconANGLE ...
