The longer I use 3D printers, the less patience I have for build surfaces that turn every print into a tiny negotiation. I don’t want to hover around the first layer, wondering whether the model will ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

1. Cilllia software leverages the micron resolution of an Autodesk 3D-printer to generate hairy and texturized surfaces. MIT’s Tangible Media Group presents intuitive software that enables 3D-printing ...

AI tools have made image to 3D model generation faster, but many users still face a manual workflow before a model can be printed. Textured AI-generated assets often require slicer setup, manual color ...

Cutoff filter measures the wavelength at which the surface structure is distinguished between waviness data and roughness. Appropriate selection of the correct filter cutoff in software is important ...
