Learn physics, engineering, and geology concepts usually seen in high
school and college in an easy, accessible style.
This second volume addresses these topics for advanced science fair
participants or those who just like reading about and understanding
science. 3D Printed Science Project Volume 2 describes eight
open-source 3D printable models, as well as creative activities using
the resulting 3D printed pieces. The files are designed to print as
easily as possible, and the authors give tips for printing them on open
source printers.
As 3D printers become more and more common and affordable, hobbyists,
teachers, parents, and students stall out once they've printed some toys
and a few household items. To get beyond this, most people benefit from
a "starter set" of objects as a beginning point in their explorations,
partially just to see what is possible. This book tells you the solid
science stories that these models offer, and provides them in
open-source repositories.
What You Will Learn
- Create (and present the science behind) 3D printed models
- Review innovative ideas for tactile ways to learn concepts in
engineering, geology and physics
- Learn what makes a models easy or hard to 3D print
Who This Book Is For
The technology- squeamish teacher and parents who want their kids to
learn something from their 3D printer but don't know how, as well as
high schoolers and undergraduates.
