This brain teaser is an autostereogram, which describes “two-dimensional (2D) images with repeating patterns that hide an underlying three-dimensional (3D) image.” ...

Discover how to create repeated patterns using 2D shapes in this fun BBC Bitesize reception guide.

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a method for having 2D patterns made of plastic self-assemble into 3D objects using a heat lamp and printer ink.

Some time ago, [Trammell Hudson] took a shot at creating a tool that unfolds 3D models in STL format and outputs a color-coded 2D pattern that can be cut out using a laser cutter. With a little ...
