Researchers introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects using a computer-controlled sewing machine. The team's method uses the sewing machine to stitch pockets between ...

In Illustrator, the envelope works like a mask, it hides the parts of the object that is outside the envelope. It goes further by changing the shape of the object to fit the shape of the envelope.

Ordinarily, if you want to change the shape in which an object is 3D-printed, you have to alter the computer model that tells the printer what to do. A new and simpler technique, however, allows the ...

The team tested mmNorm’s ability to reconstruct more than 60 objects with complex shapes, like the handle and curve of a mug. It generated reconstructions with ...

The process utilizes acoustic pressure to mold silica gel microspheres and other materials into 3D shapes. To do this, the team first learned to create complex, layered holographic shapes that were ...

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

If you’re looking for ways to support your child's learning before he or she even enters a classroom, new research from FIU offers an answer that's backed by science and surprisingly simple: […] The ...

A Shape is a graphical representation of an object. In Microsoft Office programs, such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher, and OneNote, people can use shapes to form an image. They also contain ...
