3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

Researchers describe a technique of volumetric 3D printing that goes beyond the bottom-up, layered approach. The process eliminates the need for support structures because the resin it creates is self ...

Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student ...

What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

A team led by aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor Jeff Baur has developed a low-energy, scalable technique that ...

US researchers have discovered an appropriate solvent design for the application of a 2D top layer on a perovskite solar cell. The cells incorporate the stability of 2D perovskite cells and the ...

The metaverse is taking shape right now, and Nvidia has gone all in, introducing a robust set of tools to build it. But even for a graphics pioneer like Nvidia, rendering 3D worlds is a complicated ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in biomedical, environmental testing, geology, manufacturing and other fields could benefit from a patent-pending Purdue University innovation that fabricates ...
