For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

People often use their hands when describing an object, while pens are great tools for describing objects in detail. Taking this idea, a KAIST team introduced a new 3D sketching workflow, combining ...

A computer scientist has created a new software that can create a design sketch of an everyday object, addressing the challenge of accurately describing shapes. A University of British Columbia ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

Designing 3D objects could be a lot easier when you’re working in 3D. That’s the premise behind Gravity Sketch, which is launching today as a virtual reality software tool that allows people to create ...

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 ...

A little bit of sleuthing through the layers of tabs, ribbons, menus and buttons on the Microsoft Word workspace reveals that you can do quite a bit more than just typing flat characters on a document ...

If you’re missing the mark when creating 3D shapes in Microsoft PowerPoint, you might be skipping a step. Learn how to apply simple 3D effects by creating a few arrows. When you want to visually imply ...

Designers and technologists, from big corporations to start-ups, will be interested in improvements to computer aided drawing. Accurate depictions of everything from everyday objects to complex ...
