Apple researchers have created an AI model that reconstructs a 3D object from a single image, while keeping light effects consistent across viewing angles.

Strange software bugs. Could benefit from extra light. No mobile device compatibility. Requires a computer. As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way ...

As is the case with items that are manufactured in more traditional manners, it's certainly possible for 3D-printed products to be counterfeited. A new system could help identify such bogus goods, by ...

Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Heidelberg University have created a new technology to assemble matter in 3D. Their concept uses multiple acoustic holograms to ...

Forget your regular ol’ 3D printer. Why not try using sound waves to form a 3D object? That’s exactly what researchers in Germany set out to do, making use of “acoustic holograms” to form distinct 3D ...

If you can 3D-scan it, you can 3D-print it – and Matter and Form has announced a super-versatile new way to do so. The Three system creates photorealistic, high-detail, full-color 3D scans of objects ...

When desktop 3D printing emerged a decade ago, the phrase “plug-and-play” was thrown around a lot to describe how user-friendly a given machine was. Nevertheless, none of the original desktop systems ...

I’ve used many 3D scanners, and one thing always bugs me: the frustration that often arises from setup, which usually requires a laptop or phone to be tethered to ...
