This is part of the series of 30 exercises developed during the E3D+VET program, a groundbreaking Erasmus+ initiative that delves deeply into the world of 3D printing for VET centers.

The binomial theorem is an essential algebraic concept used to expand expressions of the form (a + b)^n, where n can be any natural number. To grasp this abstract idea, a 3D model has been created to provide students with a tangible understanding of the formula for exponents 2 and 3. The model consists of eight parallelepipeds and a square base that come together in a precise manner to form a cube. Here's what you'll find in the set: 1. One cube measuring a^3. 2. One cube measuring b^3. 3. Three rectangular parallelepipeds with dimensions a^2xb. 4. Three rectangular parallelepipeds with dimensions axb^2. 5. A square base with an area of (a+b+1.5cm)^2 to provide stable support.
