Two-dimensional (2D) shapes are completely flat. They cannot be picked up. A polygon is a 2D shape with straight sides that meet at vertices. Polygons have names that show the number of sides they ...

Researchers from the Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) and Robotics Institute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects ...

Wooden objects are usually made by sawing, carving, bending or pressing. But now, scientists have developed flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer which can be programmed to self-morph into ...

Are you fond of drawing some random doodles? Have you ever imagined some magic tricks that would transform your boring 2D picture into a realistic 3D model? Well then, turning a 2D shape into a 3D ...

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have taken inspiration from flat-packed furniture to reimagine the way pasta is created, developing a flat form of the food that morphs into conventional ...
