James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

STL files are everywhere. When there’s something to 3D print, it’s probably going to be an STL. Which, as long as the model is good just as it is, is no trouble at all. But sooner or later there will ...

We’ve seen our fair share of interesting knitting hacks here at Hackaday. There has been a lot of creative space explored while mashing computers into knitting machines and vice versa, but for the ...

What a day and age we live in when you can design and edit CAD models in a virtual- or mixed-reality environment and then readily 3D-print those models when finished. It was only a short few years ago ...

While the explosion in the popularity of consumer 3D printers has been enabled by cheaper and cheaper devices, they’re still beyond the reach of the average university student. But students at ...

A neural field network can create a continuous 3D model from a limited number of 2D images, and it does it without being trained on other samples. Researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering ...
