Computer-aided design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today's physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D ...

M IT engineers are developing an AI model that can operate CAD software the same way a human designer does. The system takes ...

Once the stuff of science fiction, 3D printers are now mainstream tools for creation and innovation. These devices, which transform digital blueprints into physical objects, have dramatically evolved ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

Abstract: Accurately calculating shade geometry on solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in three dimensions (3D) is computationally demanding. Algorithms exist which can calculate the geometry of direct ...

Abstract: This study focuses on establishing a sustainable and innovative approach to recycling low-density polyethylene (LDPE) derived from waste plastic bottles. The release of millions of tons of ...
