myminifactory

This exercise is part of the 3D4KIDS program, a comprehensive series of 30 engaging activities designed to equip teachers with cutting-edge knowledge on 3d printing technology. The Erasmus+ program aims to enhance teacher expertise by creating specialized training materials that foster in-depth understanding. For more information, visit https://www.3d4kids.eu. The activity at hand involves utilizing the provided pieces to construct various polygons. Interestingly, these same pieces can be combined to form multiple shapes, a concept known as dissection. To illustrate this versatility, four examples are presented: - Two triangles combine to form a square. - A dodecagon is dissected into a square. - A hexagon is transformed into a square through dissection. - A hexagram is split into two distinct triangles.
