3-D shape data has become an integral part of the product design process. "First, the database allows the designers to more easily check population distribution with multiple range restriction ...

Nanoletters – Optical Forging of Graphene into Three-Dimensional Shapes “We call this technique optical forging, since the process resembles forging metals into 3D shapes with a hammer. In our case, a ...

Kitchen ruined an ungodly amount of film in the 18 months he spent honing his technique. It starts with a 3-D form in Google Sketchup, which provides the shapes for stencils he cuts from black paper.

The shapes I continue to return to in my research career are both commonplace and complex. They are commonplace because we learn about two-dimensional versions of these shapes as children ...

New 3-D printed robotic structures can squeeze in tight spaces like a crack in the wall of a cave, jump over trip wire or crawl under a vehicle -- all complex Army-relevant functions impossible ...

The role of inferotemporal cortex in coding two-dimensional patterns has been extensively studied, but the more difficult problem of three-dimensional shape representation has been relatively ...

For a great many years, researchers have been trying to create structures that can assume different stable shapes as required. The goal of creating these multi-stable structures, as they are known, is ...
