At the same time, the shape should be conserved or carefully controlled. "We also have other mechanisms of creating food structures via different 3D-printing techniques," Pulatsu said.

Mar 25, 2022 Shape-programmable 3D microfluidics (Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated.

New print jobs How 3D printing is personalizing health care Prosthetics are becoming increasingly affordable and accessible thanks to 3D printers.

Point-E doesn’t create 3D objects in the traditional sense. Rather, it generates point clouds, or discrete sets of data points in space that represent a 3D shape — hence the cheeky abbreviation.

These 2D machines can shapeshift into moving 3D robots Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space.
