CELL PROJECT

thingiverse

These incredible objects were crafted by students aged 14-15 from the esteemed secondary school "A. BERENINI" - FIDENZA, nestled near Parma. This ambitious project was undertaken as part of the Erasmus+ Project PRINT STEM (www.printstemproject.eu), a groundbreaking initiative that brings together students and educators from around the globe. The intellectual output of this remarkable endeavor is N.5: A Study of an Animal Cell Model. The innovative approach, known as Erasmus Print Stem, utilizes 3D printing technology to engage students in scientific subjects and foster a deeper understanding of complex concepts. This forward-thinking strategy was designed to captivate students' interest and encourage them to excel in science. The primary objective of this project was multifaceted: 1) To equip students with new skills and provide a global dimension to their learning through international collaboration. 2) To harness the power of e-learning to enhance language abilities. 3) To create flexible learning strategies that cater to diverse needs. 4) To revitalize the learning experience for unmotivated students who are at risk of abandoning school, as well as those with limited skills. 5) To enhance teachers' proficiency and equip them with innovative teaching methods. The project's focus was on creating an animal cell model, a complex structure that can be visualized as a "tridimensional puzzle." This intricate design consists of several key components: * Inferior base * Superior shell * Inferior internal side * Superior internal side * Two mitochondria * Inferior endoplasmic reticulum * Superior endoplasmic reticulum * Inferior Golgi apparatus * Superior Golgi apparatus * Inferior nucleus * Superior nucleus * Nucleolus The printing process was carried out using a Deltaprintr Assembled printer, which featured: * Printer brand: Deltaprintr * Rafts: Yes * Supports: Yes * Resolution: High * Infill: 100% Post-printing processing involved the use of CURA 15.04.4 software for 3D printing. The CAD design was created using a professional-grade software, "Inventor," which facilitated the creation of intricate designs and models.
