Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) is a 3D printing method that builds objects by layering and cutting sheets of material.

A team of engineers at Autodesk have been pushing the limitations of conventional 3D printing-- not by redesigning the machines themselves, but by creating a network to harness their collective power.

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...
