As the patents for fused-filament 3D printers began to expire back in 2013, hackers and makers across the globe started making 3D objects in their garages, workshops and hackerspaces. Entire ...

Multi-material 3D printing combines the functional properties of different materials (e.g., mechanical, electrical, color) within a single object that is fabricated without manual assembly. However, ...

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) ...

Robots and autonomous vehicles can use 3D point clouds from LiDAR sensors and camera images to perform 3D object detection. However, current techniques that combine both types of data struggle to ...

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 ...

Computer vision has made significant advancements in recent years, particularly in the 3D domain. Generating a complete 3D scene is fundamental and pivotal in computer vision and robotics for tasks ...

Apple researchers are pushing forward with efforts to bring autonomous vehicle systems to public roads, and last week published an academic paper outlining a method of detecting objects in 3D point ...

If you haven’t heard of Made in Space, you should. The Silicon Valley company’s raison d’etre is to make it possible for astronauts aboard the International Space Station to 3D print parts and other ...
