An exclusive Q&A with John Brearley, president, Americas at Lectra, on the evolution of 3D prototyping, seamless global ...

Engineers have long sought ways to fabricate three-dimensional structures from flat stock materials without relying on expensive tooling, molds, or subtractive machining. A research team has now ...

For true design efficiency, it pays to have everything happening in the same dimension. On most digital fashion platforms, designers work between 3D and 2D—they have their 3D CAD design open in one ...

3D-printed architecture tech can be used to produce everything from tiny houses to large buildings, but one thing most of them have in common is they tend to be relatively simple and uninspired in ...

Self-spiraling actuators are widely found in nature and have high research and actuator-application value in self-lock and self-assembly. Four-dimensional (4D) printing is a new generation additive ...

With the growing popularity of 3D-printed products, material consumption has been a major concern in additive manufacturing in recent years. Choosing the infill structure and the printing parameters ...

Get an overview of design patterns, then use what you've learned to evaluate whether the Composite pattern is a good choice for a particular Java use case Numerous strategies have been devised to ...
