A prism is a 3D shape which has a constant cross section - both ends of the solid are the same shape and anywhere you cut parallel to these ends will give you the same shape. For example, in the prism ...

... that is easy to use.<BR><BR>I only need it to do 3D solid shapes to scale. Nothing fancy at all. Scale is very important- if I want this 3d box to be 3.345 inches ...

A new and reliable way of making fluorescent solids has led to the creation of the brightest-ever class of fluorescent materials. The 3D-printable materials could one day help solar panels harvest ...

Robots have a tremendous potential, but if a way can't be found to manufacture them quickly, cheaply, and in large numbers, that potential may remain exactly that. To that end, MIT's Computer Science ...

Traditional 3D printing works in only one direction: you add material layer by layer, and once something is printed, it stays ...

Self-organization in anisotropic colloidal suspensions leads to a fascinating range of crystal and liquid crystal phases induced by shape alone. Simulations predict the phase behaviour of a plethora ...
