Charles Wade, a PhD student in computer science at the University of Colorado Boulder, has developed OpenVCAD, a design ...

“The flat, rigid shape of today’s mouse forces the hand into an unnatural position,” Nazarbayev University Associate Professor and lead researcher Jose Berengueres said in a statement. “Over time, ...

People are increasingly turning to software to design complex material structures like airplane wings and medical implants. But as design models become more capable, our fabrication techniques haven't ...

Working out where to place the billions of components that a modern computer chip needs can take human designers months and, despite decades of research, has defied automation. This week, however, a ...

Computer-aided engineering (CAD) is a $9 billion industry, and Onshape wants to shake it up. So the cloud-based CAD tool maker is using Magic Leap’s augmented reality glasses to enable engineers to ...

D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

A new method significantly advances 3D imaging of reflective surfaces. The approach integrates techniques known from high-precision optical 3D metrology and computer vision, and could benefit ...

Storage technologies are a bit of an alphabet soup, with NAS, SAN, and DAS systems being offered. That’s Network Attached Storage, Storage Area Network, and Direct Attached Storage. The DAS is the ...

Toner transfer is a commonly-used technique for applying text and images to flat surfaces such as PCBs, but anybody who has considered using the same method on 3D prints will have realized that the ...

The use of computer vision in smart cities allows them to function seamlessly. At the same time, considering how computer vision is set to be the catalyst for digitization across several industries in ...

At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...
