A prism is a 3D shape which has a constant cross section - both ends of the solid are the same shape and anywhere you cut parallel to these ends will give you the same shape. For example, in the prism ...

It may seem distinctly low-tech compared to some of the many technology trends I write about, but 3D and 4D printing will have very wide applications – and could be particularly powerful when combined ...

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 ...

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined to make a ...
