A multi-university research team, including the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has developed A11yShape, ...

The design of furniture consists of two major components: geometric modeling and physical validity of shapes. While advances in software for 3D modeling have made it easier for even inexperienced ...

Direct modelers provide a hands-on way to create and edit solid models. An emerging technology called “direct modeling” provides a new way to interact with solid models. As the approach becomes ...

As the consequence of complex interactions between different parts of an organ, shape can be used as a predictor of structural–functional relationships implicated in changing environments. Despite ...

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 ...

Scientists are pioneering a powerful combination of computer modelling and experimental genetics to work out how the complex shapes of organs found in nature are produced by the interacting actions of ...
