Milling and routing flat surfaces is pretty much the point of a CNC router, but how about curved surfaces? Auto leveling of hobby CNC machines and 3D printers is becoming commonplace, but Scorch Wo… ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the University of Granada have found a way to speed up the architectural design of vaults and ...

Generally speaking, curved objects (such as beams) are less mechanically stable than their straight counterparts. In most scenarios, this is an undesirable quality.

A new mathematical rule explains how simple, 3D curved surfaces — such as domes or saddles — can be folded and snapped into new positions or to form different structures. As such ...

The algorithms may also prove useful for improving the vision of drones and autonomous vehicles that see objects in 3D, and for detecting patterns in data gathered from the irregularly curved ...

The group sought to develop a general theory to describe how wrinkles on curved objects form—a goal that was initially inspired by observations made by Dunkel's collaborator, Pedro Reis, the ...

When the nanoparticles are used, however, the waves appear as shown on the left — continuously flat as if the curved object itself were flat. Advertisement.

Since our eyes are round, the human brain processes vision on a curved plane. This means that curved objects that match the roundness of our own eyes are easier for us to focus upon than their ...
