Is 5-Axis Direct to Object Printer Possible? In the paragraphs above, we outlined two ways to get art on to a 3D object – direct to object and printing 2D art and then forming it to a 3D object.

Cambridge University PhD student Qi Pan has designed software that creates textured 3D models of an object in slightly more than a minute using a stationary camera.

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 ...

While adding 3D structure to the infill of 3D printed objects won’t make the objects any stronger, it will drastically reduce delamination, and be much more resistant to stresses in all three ...

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 edge ...

How a 3D printer works can vary depending on the type of printing it's doing. Use this guide to understand the variations in materials and technique.
