Once reserved for screens or inlaid panels in handmade furniture, kumiko, with its thin slats precisely cut to interlock in repeating geometric patterns, has evolved to become a craft celebrated ...

By contrast, each of the repeating ... 3D metamaterials that have tunable mechanical properties. The authors based their metamaterial on a design called the Kresling origami pattern.

Hoogland developed the technique after discovering a software program that could turn his 2D drawings into 3D textures ... a geometric logic, formed of organised lines and repeating patterns.

A software program translates Hoogland's 2D drawings into 3D surfaces The ... Some of the textures had a geometric logic, formed of organised lines and repeating patterns. Others were more like ...

Recently, researchers highlighted a discovery in 3D-printed aluminum alloys: atomic structures called quasicrystals. These quasicrystals are unusual. Unlike conventional crystals, such as those in ...

This technique consists of mirroring shapes or lines across an axis to create a cohesive look. Each shape or motif has its own meaning, mostly tied to cultural practices or historical stories ...
