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

University of Colorado Boulder researchers have developed a new open-source tool that enables engineers to design 3D objects ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are using an unusual design to enhance the sustainability of concrete, with a carbon-absorbing material and ...
