STUDY OF SOLIDS

thingiverse

These innovative objects have been crafted and printed by students aged 14-15 at the secondary school "A. BERENINI" - FIDENZA, located near Parma. The activity took place within the framework of the Erasmus+ Project PRINT STEM (www.printstemproject.eu). Erasmus Print Stem. Intellectual Output N.4: Solids Study. The strategic approach to using 3D printers in scientific subjects has been proposed as a means to captivate students' interest in learning science-related topics through the Erasmus K2 “Print Stem” project. The primary objectives of this initiative were: 1) To empower students with new skills and foster international cooperation by expanding their learning horizon. 2) To leverage e-learning to enhance language abilities. 3) To develop flexible learning strategies. 4) To revitalize the educational experience for underperforming students at risk of abandoning school or lacking essential skills. 5) To elevate teachers' proficiency. Object The project features an inclined plane comprising two distinct divergent and inclined guides, along with solids: double cone, cylinder, sphere, and pseudo sphere. We endeavored to elucidate the mechanic paradox (a double cone that seemingly reverses direction on the inclined plane) and observe the movement of various rotational solids. The class was divided into five groups of four students each, tasked with designing and printing a comprehensive kit with diverse dimensions. Print Settings Printer Brand: Deltaprintr Printer: Deltaprintr Assembled Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: High Infill: 100% Post-Printing How I Designed This A simple yet professional CAD design software, "Inventor", was employed for the project. The CURA 15.04.4 software was utilized for 3D printing purposes.
