9781484213247 English 1484213246 3D Printed Science Projects describes how to create 3D printable models that can help students from kindergarten through grad school learn math, physics, botany, chemistry, engineering and more. Each of the eight topics is designed to be customized by the reader to create a wide range of projects suitable for science fairs, extra credit, or classroom demonstrations. Science fair project suggestions and extensive "where to learn more" resources are included, too. You will add another dimension to your textbook understanding of science. What you'll learn To create (and present the science behind) 3D printed models. To use a 3D printer to create those models as simply as possible. New science insights from designing 3D models. Who this book is for This book shows parents and teachers how to use the models inside as starting points for 3D printable explorations. Students can start with these models and vary them for their own explorations. Unlike other sets of models that can just be scaled, these models have the science built-in to allow for more insight into the fundamental concepts. Topics covered in this book: 3D Math Functions Light and Other Waves Gravity Airfoils Simple Machines Plants and their Ecosystems Molecules Trusses, 3D printers are becoming far more common as popularity has increased, prices drop and they become more usable. However, there is a learning curve and so a printer owner, user, parent, teacher, or student usually stall out of projects once they have printed some toys or a few household items. To get beyond this, most people need a "starter set" of objects as a beginning point in their explorations, partially just to see what is possible, to get more proficient, and to learn techniques that can be used for other projects and still have something worthwhile to show for it. 3D Printed Science Projects fills this need with modules (projects) that combine a downloadable 3D printable object file (called an STL file) with instructions for how to use the object (for projects at home or in a classroom) and suggestions on how to create the file on some standard types of 3D printers. STL files are models that can be 3D printed on any 3D printer. More processing (and often quite a bit of sophisticated knowledge) is required to make an STL actually print on a printer. The objects will be designed to be as easy as possible to print on a wide range of consumer printers. There are websites full of objects to print out there for free, but the quality control is minimal and there is nothing there for the most part that says what to do with them if you are exploring on your own or how to teach with them., This book describes how to create 3D printable models that can help students from kindergarten through grad school learn math, physics, botany, chemistry, engineering and more.
