As-manufactured woven polymer matrix composites often exhibit in-situ cracking due to residual stresses that arise from curing. NASA’s Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) is a ...

Using 3D printing technologies for composite tooling is no longer new, though uptake is still limited and there is enormous potential for growth across the composite industry. The last decade has seen ...

The MAPICC 3D project (2011-2016) realized a process capable of producing net-shape preforms from topology-optimized, high-performance structural 3D thermoplastic textile composites. The final product ...

The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC; Catcliffe, U.K.), in collaboration with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA; Abingdon, U.K.), is developing a 3D ...

Stability AI, the startup behind the text-to-image AI model Stable Diffusion, thinks 3D model creation tools could be the next big thing in generative AI. At least, that’s the message it’s sending ...

The next breakthrough to take the AI world by storm might be 3D model generators. This week, OpenAI open sourced Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object given a text prompt.

On Friday, researchers from Nvidia announced Magic3D, an AI model that can generate 3D models from text descriptions. After entering a prompt such as, “A blue poison-dart frog sitting on a water lily, ...
