Designers can move easily between drawing in a virtual-reality environment and on their tablet using the latest update to Gravity Sketch. The Surface Tool feature is contained in version 6.1 of the ...

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 ...

A machine learning tool developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) could potentially allow beginner and professional designers to create 3D virtual models of ...

Pen drawings can allow simple, inexpensive and intuitive two-dimensional (2D) fabrication. Materials scientists aim to integrate such pen drawings to develop 3D objects. In a new report now published ...

Thanks to the influx of mobile tablets like the iPad, 2D sketch tools and industrial design capabilities are suddenly hot. So hot that Dassault Systemes just added a new 3D sketch tool to its CAD and ...

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 global team of ...
