Researchers introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects using a computer-controlled sewing machine. The team's method uses the sewing machine to stitch pockets between ...

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 ...

A new prototype of a knitting machine creates solid, knitted shapes, adding stitches in any direction—forward, backward and ...

One way to get precise color, lines, or shapes between objects in your designs is to use Blend Tool in Adobe Illustrator. Learning how to use Blend in Illustrator helps to make your colors, text or ...

Roblox announced Monday that it’s launching the first iteration of its 3D model, dubbed “Cube,” to allow creators to create 3D objects using generative AI. The company also launched an open source ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

A new kind of shape-shifting material can twist, bend, and snap into more than a dozen three-dimensional forms—no motors or wires required. Using stored elastic energy, it transforms itself much like ...
