Ordinarily, if you want to change the shape in which an object is 3D-printed, you have to alter the computer model that tells the printer what to do. A new and simpler technique, however, allows the ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Using 3D printed struts and cables, the first 3D printed objects that can compress to compact size and expand to full size have been created. This breakthrough has implications for large structures ...

You can now design objects just by typing what you want. AI turns your words into 3D shapes, and robots build them from ...

The team tested mmNorm’s ability to reconstruct more than 60 objects with complex shapes, like the handle and curve of a mug. It generated reconstructions with ...

In a new Harvard University-designed system, however, that buckling action allows flat-packed objects to be twisted into useful three-dimensional forms. Most existing "buckling-induced deployable ...
