That's today's project. In this article, I'll show you how I started with a picture of me, used some intermediate AI, and turned it into a physical 3D plastic me figurine. Do I need a me figurine? No.

Like all AI models based on the Transformer architecture, the large language models (LLMs) that underpin today’s coding ...

The slicing process for additive manufacturing (AM) involves many steps, including slicing the object to be printed and fitting toolpaths to each resulting layer. The toolpaths define the trajectories ...

Generative artificial intelligence models have left such an indelible impact on digital content creation that it's getting ...

In order to 3D-print really intricate items, you need a really fine print nozzle. Scientists have discovered that instead of going to the time and trouble of building one, you can simply repurpose a ...

3D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can be readily repurposed to other tasks. As [Arseniy] demonstrates, it’s not ...

When you get a 3D printer, it can be overwhelming to figure out what you want to make. There are several designs you can discover online, and eventually, you can create your own using programs like ...

Anyone who's mucked about with consumer-grade 3D printers knows that it's infinitely cool to create stuff with them, but you can't realistically expect those products to be particularly durable. If ...

Abstract: 3D printing is a revolutionary technology that enables the creation of physical objects from digital models. However, the quality and accuracy of 3D printing depend on the correctness and ...

Once the stuff of science fiction, 3D printers are now mainstream tools for creation and innovation. These devices, which transform digital blueprints into physical objects, have dramatically evolved ...

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants. Changhong Cao at McGill University ...
