Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...

Researchers at TU Delft have combined origami techniques and 3-D printing to create flat structures that can fold themselves into 3-D structures like tulips. The structures self-fold according to a ...

Plans and elevations are 2D drawings of a 3D shape when looked at from different perspectives. Isometric close isometricA method of drawing a 3D shape from a specific perspective. dot paper is used to ...

Tiling a space with a repeated pattern that has no gaps or overlaps (a structure known as a tessellation) is what led mathematician [Gábor Domokos] to ponder a question: how few corners can a shape ...

Flat-pack furniture is commonplace, and flat-pack pasta might be one day too. Wen Wang of Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania and her colleagues have developed edible 2D pasta that swells into ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

A little bit of sleuthing through the layers of tabs, ribbons, menus and buttons on the Microsoft Word workspace reveals that you can do quite a bit more than just typing flat characters on a document ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?
