Designing 3D objects could be a lot easier when you’re working in 3D. That’s the premise behind Gravity Sketch, which is launching today as a virtual reality software tool that allows people to create ...

People often use their hands when describing an object, while pens are great tools for describing objects in detail. Taking this idea, a KAIST team introduced a new 3D sketching workflow, combining ...

For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

3D printing has segued from the niche lab to very nearly the mass market, and new startup CreoPop is hoping to tip it over the edge with its new 3D Pen. Built around an intriguing range of unusual ...

AI-assisted 3D generation: Platforms such as Tripo AI convert 2D images into geometric models, providing structured, spatial digital objects made of polygons and surfaces that can be explored and ...

Thanks to the influx of mobile tablets like the iPad, 2D sketch tools and industrial design capabilities are suddenly hot. So hot that Dassault Systemes just added a new 3D sketch tool to its CAD and ...

Platforms like Figma have changed the game when it comes to how creatives and other stakeholders in the production and product team conceive and iterate around two-dimensional designs. Now, a company ...

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 ...

3D scanning is important because the ability to digitize awkward or troublesome shapes from the real world can really hit the spot. One can reconstruct objects by drawing them up in CAD, but when ...

The Apple Pencil may one day be able to sketch virtual objects, as hinted in a new Apple patent filing (number 20210833613) for a “method and device for sketch-based placement of virtual objects.” ...
