The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Open Access Initiative expands with three-dimensional renderings of significant pieces—most of which are free to download.

Scientists mapped a hidden "sea of light" from hydrogen 9–11 billion years ago, revealing how the early universe was structured.

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like decor and personal accessories, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) ...

I love creating things on my 3D printer, but I’ve always hit a wall because I’m not an engineer and traditional 3D design software can be really tricky. In ...

High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

Roblox launched an open-source AI model that generates 3D objects on the fly early last year and now that toolset is getting a massive boost. The platform has introduced a model that whips up "4D" ...

Last year, Roblox launched an open source AI model that could generate 3D objects on the platform, helping users quickly design digital items such as furniture, vehicles, and accessories. The company ...

3D printers aren't just for making random statues and toys, as admittedly fun as that is. They are tools that can create just about anything out of nothing but plastic filament, and if you put your ...

SAM 3D Objects is a foundation model that reconstructs full 3D shape geometry, texture, and layout from a single image, excelling in real-world scenarios with occlusion and clutter by using ...

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with distinct domains that mimic the hardness or flexibility of skin, ligaments, ...

3D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it sees now in order to build a 3D model. However, not every object is as ...

MIT researchers have developed a generative AI system that allows users to personalize 3D-printed objects without weakening their structural strength. The system, called MechStyle, tackles a common ...
