Optical 3D surface scanning is used increasingly to assess spinal deformity of patients with scoliosis. However, approaches based on optical 3D scanning often underestimate the spinal deformity. To ...

The ocean is saturated with microplastics. While we know the location of the great garbage patches, where plastic particles may accumulate below the ocean surface remains unknown. The vastness of the ...

A gem of a find by The Public Domain Review of a collection from the Rijksmuseum: photographs of plaster models of the Moon’s surface that were made from observations of the Moon through a telescope.

Abstract: This paper proposes an enhanced submicron-resolution 3D surface reconstruction framework for in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) characterizing metal deformation evolution, ...

Copilot 3D will turn your 2D images into 3D models. The tool is freely available to anyone, though you do need a Microsoft account. Microsoft suggests using an image with a single subject, even ...

A 75-year-old cyclist who suffered serious injuries after being hit by a drunk driver has just received a custom 3D printed facial prosthesis—the first of its kind made by the NHS at the Bristol 3D ...

Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using 3D printing of closely spaced spines, they have combined menisci to create ...

If there’s one thing that turns people off from adopting new tech, it’s being forced to look silly and feel uncomfortable for extended lengths of time. It was always the Achilles' heel for 3D in the ...

Daniel Freedman has received funding related to 3D printing from IBM, Braskem and Mediprint and is affiliated with the Stratasys Educational Community Advisory Board. Anne Schmitz does not work for, ...

The 12-inch Surface Pro is the most iPad-like hybrid tablet Microsoft has made yet, but to get there the company had to make plenty of compromises. Clocking in at 1.5 pounds, it weighs almost the same ...
