Strength Test

thingiverse

This project is a challenge for students to design and build the strongest and lightest structure from the provided template, pushing their creativity to the limit with added inspiration through alternative ideas. Print Settings Printer: XYZ Davinci Resolution: 0.2 MM Infill: Students' choice, keeping it consistent throughout Project: Strength Test Objectives: The main goal of this project is to educate students on strength-to-weight ratios and engineering design principles. Audiences: This activity is perfect for middle to high school kids or 3D modeling classes with a basic understanding of physics concepts. Preparation: To tackle this project, students need a solid grasp of physics fundamentals and a working knowledge of 3D modeling software. Steps: Students should start by cutting out sections from the template file, aiming to achieve the highest strength-to-weight ratio possible. Next, they'll sketch their designs, cut them out of the template, print, test which structures are the strongest, and finally redesign based on their observations. Results: By completing this project, students will gain a deeper understanding of physical laws and strength-to-weight ratios. They'll also learn the importance of redesigning and designing for real-world applications.
