Three-dimensional printing process developed in 1966. Essentially a printed image is broken up into stereoscopic elements over which a plastic screen is superimposed to divide the picture into hundreds of tiny vertical strips. The screen focuses on the tiny strips in the picture and gives the viewer the illusion of depth.

Using the method of triangulation, 3D scanning is a process of determining the shape of an object’s surface or its volume in three-dimensional space. ... Accurate 3D measurements derived from a scanned object are useful for material inspection and quality control. If a 3D scanning technology is capable of collecting a lot of 3D data from the scanned object, it has the ability to recreate a high resolution, accurate 3D digital model of the real-world object.

At its most basic, multi-material 3D printing lets you use two or three resins in a single print job to simulate overmolding, or produce trays of assorted parts. Dramatically expanding the possibilities, software combines several resins in specific concentrations and microstructures to produce Digital Materials that vary in translucency, rigidity, thermal resistance and color. This lets you incorporate a full range of material properties in a single print job.

The EVA 3-D roller wrench operates using 3-D rollers connected with springs installed between concentric cylindrical races. The pins "disengage" one set of rollers, which allows its "engaged" partner roller to roll up the wedge surface of the hub when the wrench is turned in one direction. Rotation in the other direction causes the roller to roll down the wedge surface, disengaging the clutch for overrunning. This action allows the wrench to apply torque in one direction and free spin in the other like a traditional ratchet wrench. Moving the pins clockwise so that they engage neither roller will cause the wrench to become a rigid bar, allowing the wrench to apply torque in both directions. Rotating the pins further clockwise will cause them to "disengage" the rollers that were previously engaged, allowing the wrench to apply torque in the opposite direction as before.

Le système 3D qui a été développé (...) permet la synthèse d'images tridimensionnelles à partir de facettes planes (...) ou de surfaces libres. L'utilisation de surfaces libres permet un rendu optimal des objets courbes et des structures souples. On peut ainsi se rapprocher à volonté de l'objet sans voir apparaître des défauts ou des irrégularités. Le système actuel a une définition de 512 x 512 (à terme 1 024 x 1 024) avec possibilité de synthèse de texture (sable, raphia, bois, pierre, etc.) et d'animation par trajectoire dans l'espace ou par interpolation 3D.

D'autres équipes de chercheurs développent l'affichage holographique en temps réel : ainsi H.-J. Caufield d'Aerodyn Research met au point son "tube cathodique tridimensionnel" : les images en relief sont peintes à l'aide d'un dispositif de balayage à contrôle électronique, analogue à celui d'un tube cathodique.
