Some 3D shapes, like cubes and pyramids, can be opened or unfolded along their edges to create a flat shape. The unfolded shape is called the net of the solid. Here are some 3D shapes and their nets.

Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes.

Researchers at Microsoft have developed an AI model that converts 2D images into 3D shapes. They say it's superior to previous techniques.

A new AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D ...

The Metaverse is poking its head into the 2D Internet. Amazon is adding 3D product shots to its product pages through a partnership with Tel-Aviv based Hexa, a 3D visualization platform that uses ...

Spatial visualization is the ability to visualize 3D shapes in one's mind, which is tied to increased GPAs and graduation rates in STEM college students.

At its spring Graphics Technology Conference (GTC) this week, Nvidia demonstrated a new approach to inverse rendering -- the process of reconstructing 3D scenes from a handful of 2D images.
