A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

What if you could take a simple 2D image—a sketch, a logo, or even a photograph—and transform it into a fully realized 3D model, ready for 3D printing or digital design? For years, this process ...

A machine learning tool developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) could potentially allow beginner and professional designers to create 3D virtual models of ...

Use AI to make 3D printable models with a four-step flow using Nano Banana and Bamboo Studio for faster results. Design and ...

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending ...

Rendering 3D drawings on iPad just got a lot easier. A new app named uMake lets designers draw two-dimensionally on an axis to render 3D images, and was created with the iPad Pro in mind. The app also ...

In the same way that it’s easier to order takeout food rather than whipping up a home-cooked meal, it’s much more straightforward to download a ready-made 3D printing model than it is to create your ...

We present a system for 3D modeling of free-form surfaces from 2D sketches. Our system frees users to create 2D sketches from arbitrary angles using their preferred tool, which may include pencil and ...

Simus systems has expanded its simus classmate software suite with AI-based capture and assignment of drawing information for 3D models. The classmate DRAW module is now available as a standalone ...

Corel has introduced CorelCAD 2019, the latest version of its software for 2D drawing, 3D modeling, and 3D printing. Available for Mac and Windows, the upgrade touts new 3D modeling commands and ...
