Learning Blade 3D Maker Quest - Bridge Design

thingiverse

These are the supporting documents for the Learning Blade Bridge Design Challenge. This Maker Quest allows students to hone their skills in designing and testing basic bridges. The design files in this lesson can be used to construct various bridge types, and can also serve as the foundation for customized 3D bridge designs. Once students have designed, printed, and assembled their bridges, they will measure them for stiffness, load-carrying capacity, and material efficiency. The first few STL files are for the spans and connectors. We've included single connectors and spans, as well as sets optimized for ~ 100mm x 100mm print areas. We've also included design files for a span and connector sliced into sections so students can more easily modify them to create their own designs.
