Try SAM 3D to create editable 3D models and meshes from images, with manual scale and rotate tools, helping beginners turn ideas into assets ...

Brilliant. Fast forward a few decades and you have 3D printing. There’s still plastic waste in 3D printing, but it’s in the form of wasteful supports. What if someone designed a 3D printable object ...

3-D printers have been around since the 1980s, but we are still far from maximizing their potential. One active area of research is 'self-actuating' objects: flat materials that transform themselves ...

Turning a sketch or photo of an object into a fully realized 3D model so that it can be duplicated using a 3D printer, played in a video game, or brought to life in a movie through visual effects, ...

Imagine snapping a photo of your favorite object, a vintage car, a family heirloom, or even your pet, and instantly transforming it into a lifelike 3D model. Thanks to Meta’s SAM 3D, this futuristic ...

Hold Shift + Left click and drag to make a small circle, give the circle a gradient of your choice. The circle is enlarged to make it more visible, but the actual circle is much smaller. Hold Alt + ...

Meta Platforms Inc. today is expanding its suite of open-source Segment Anything computer vision models with the release of SAM 3 and SAM 3D, introducing enhanced object recognition and ...

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt.

Wood shavings have been turned into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. This method of 3D printing could make wood sturdy ...

Cambridge University PhD student Qi Pan has designed software that creates textured 3D models in slightly more than a minute using a stationary camera, such as a webcam. Conventional off-line model ...
