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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
