Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

While traditional 3D printers work by depositing layers of material, tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM) involves shining laser light at a rotating vial of resin until it hardens ...

In this article, we'll explore how this innovative method, which employs multiple acoustic holograms, works and examine its potential applications and limitations. What are Acoustic Holograms, and How ...

When 3D printing was invented more than 40 years ago, it was a linear process, and its workflow remains essentially unchanged. Typically, users decide on a geometry to print, without precise knowledge ...

What if the physical world could be captured with such precision that it became indistinguishable from its digital counterpart? This is the bold ambition driving the collaboration between Microsoft ...

A 3D printer that uses lasers to build up an object in any order, rather than layer by layer, could produce more advanced designs than is currently possible. Existing 3D printers work by depositing ...

Lung scaffolds offering potential future solutions for human implantation have been 3D printed by United Therapeutics Corp. using photopolymer-based bioprinting technology from 3D Systems. The designs ...

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...

"We are interested in using our approach to build 3D complex shapes of biological structures, allowing us to bio-print, for example, life-scale models of tissues or organs," says Alvarez-Castaño.
