2D shapes can be found printed in a book or you can draw them on a piece of paper. 2D shapes have sides and corners (also called vertices). Here are some 2D shapes you might know.

Photographs of 3D-printed shapes show soft cells derived from space filling polyhedra. Blue is derived from a truncated octahedron, pink is from a hexagonal prism and green is from a cube.

Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes.

In a blog post and papers, Facebook highlights a pair of AI models that can convert 2D objects into 3D shapes with high accuracy.

While part of this shape change is down to the materials used, the rest is thanks to the way that the printer has been programmed to print this structure. The precise pattern of printing allows ...
