For example, if the solution were only applied to the edges, only they would shrink when heated, and the disc would form a bowl-shaped object. But more complex “chemical origami” would need an ...

They have 2D pictures, and they have physical objects. Occasionally there is a CAD. Creating 3D objects of the products is a hurdle companies must overcome, but their options are not great.

While there is no winner in this article, both 2D and 3D games come with their own benefits, and it's up to you to form your ...

This is undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive floor plan and house plan apps out there, covering everything from basic plans to 3D tours. Planner 5D will even connect you with actual designers if ...

While the fusion of 2D images and 3D LiDAR data leads to more accurate 3D detection results, it still faces its own set of challenges, with accurate detection of small objects remaining difficult.

Prisms are 3D objects with a constant cross section. Pyramids are 3D objects with a flat base and which taper to a vertex. Many three-dimensional objects can be constructed from 2D nets.

Elaborate multipart objects, like this chain, can be 3D printed all at once using a new vat polymerization technique. Credit: Adapted from ACS Central Science 2025, DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.5c00337 ...

The necessity of 2D-to-3D transformation presents challenges. Cuts are necessary to avoid wrinkles and overfolds in the final 3D curved objects. In other words, material-weakening defects are ...

These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul ...
