Annotations on a 3D model, as describe by ASME Y14.41, tell as much about it as a drawing. Picking on geometry highlights related annotations, and picking on annotations produces more detail.

A new app called Doodle3D Transform promises to let users easily turn regular 2D drawings into fully fledged, 3D-printable models.

The so-called views are an important function for using 3D dimensions sensibly, keeping an overview of extensive models and dealing with 2D detail drawings and sections.

But in 2025, the line between 2D and 3D art is becoming increasingly blurred. One program that demonstrates this well is Feather, an iPad app that allows 2D artists to 'draw' in 3D.

It’s easy enough to draw a basic floorplan of your home, but turning that floorplan into 3D rendering typically falls into the realm of professional designers. With home.me, TechCrunch Berlin ...

Never fear, [Trammell Hudson] is here with an online 3D to 2D converter just for plotters. [Trammell’s] creation makes a vector image suitable for a plotter while eliminating spurious behind-the ...

A Norwegian bridge was engineered using entirely 3D models, an emerging approach that saves both time and money.

A neural field network can create a continuous 3D model from a limited number of 2D images, and it does it without being trained on other samples.

Model-based manufacturing is a foundational element of the smart factory. When integrated with Industry 4.0 technologies—such ...

AMFG has announced that it will officially launch its AI-powered 2D drawing and PDF analysis tool, Sentinel AI, on July 12, ...
