From a turtle that stores hair ties to a cat planter with an articulated tail, here are my weirdest 3D prints that I use daily.

In reality, no one—not even paleontologists—can say for certain what dinosaurs sounded like, though there have been plenty of ...

Sometimes scientific discoveries aren’t made in the field but in the quiet corners of museum drawers. That’s exactly what happened in Wales, where paleontologists from the University of Bristol have ...

Researchers uncovered blood vessels in Scotty, the largest T. rex fossil. High-powered x-rays revealed mineralized tissues that deepen our understanding of dinosaur biology. Although much of modern ...

In 3D modeling, designers often use an existing 3D model as a reference to create new ones. This practice has inspired the development of Phidias, a novel generative model that uses diffusion for ...

Abstract: This work explores expanding the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) pretrained on text to generate 3D meshes within a unified model. This offers key advantages of (1) leveraging ...

Are you curious how a single image can transform into a 3D model in seconds? Microsoft’s Copilot 3D tool can make it possible in minutes. Here’s how. Turning a flat image into a lifelike 3D model once ...

Microsoft has quietly dropped a new AI trick inside Copilot Labs, and it’s surprisingly handy. Copilot 3D lets you take a plain 2D image and turn it into a fully rendered, print-ready 3D model — all ...

Copilot 3D will turn your 2D images into 3D models. The tool is freely available to anyone, though you do need a Microsoft account. Microsoft suggests using an image with a single subject, even ...

Microsoft has launched Copilot 3D, a new experimental feature that generates 3D models directly from 2D images. Released on August 8, 2025, the tool is available for free to all signed-in users via ...
