An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

Find out how tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps. Shapes with 4 sides Explore four-sided shapes looking at straight lines, curved lines and 2D shapes.

Three-dimensional printing is transforming medical care, letting the health care field shift from mass-produced solutions to ...

In a 2D the answer is two, and a 3D space can be tiled in shapes that have no corners at all, called soft cells. These shapes can be made in a few different ways, and some are shown here.

Use 3D shapes in a Word document to illustrate your text or design an entire file out of just shapes, such as a hierarchical organizational chart. Apply a variety of 3D effects to your Word shapes ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

But in 3D, these curvy, almost organic forms have no corners at all. Once the researchers identified the new shapes, they began to see them all over the place—in nature, art and architecture.

The new technique enables the generation of sharper, more lifelike 3D shapes — like these robotic bees — without the need to retrain or finetune a generative AI model. CAMBRIDGE, MA ...
