A new 3D printer developed by MIT’s researchers is offering a novel solution to tackle food waste by converting scraps into ...

A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

Turning a 2D shape into a 3D object is now possible with an application like Paint 3D. In this article, we explain how to turn 2D objects into 3D objects using Paint 3D. Follow all the steps in ...

One of the works spotlighted is Mesh R-CNN, a method that’s able to predict three-dimensional shapes from images of cluttered and occluded objects. Above: Mesh R-CNN converts 2D objects to 3D ...

MIT researchers are using a new 3D-printing process to create tiny structures that change shape at specific temperatures -- opening the door for a new drug delivery system that only medicates ...

A paper on the research was recently published in the journal Advanced Materials. You can see the Kiriform objects in shape-changing action, in the video below.

How do you create complex 3D-printed objects in seconds, instead of hours or days? Scientists have developed a process called volumetric 3D printing that uses lasers to create complete objects in ...

3D-printed plastic blocks can now be turned into acoustic holograms that generate 3D shapes made of sound, which could function like sonic "tractor beams," according to a new study.
