Wedge 1

thingiverse

The 3D printed model, labeled as Wedge 1, encloses a volume bounded by the planes z=0, x=0, x=y^2, and y+z=1. These defining equations are clearly visible on the surface of the object. Calculus students are often tasked with finding the volume contained within this volume through the evaluation of six different triple integrals. The creator of this model is credited to WLU summer research student Ryan McDonnell, who graduated in 2017. More information about the construction process can be accessed via the provided links at mathvis.academic.wlu.edu/2015/06/26/wedge-1 and http://mathvis.academic.wlu.edu/2015/06/26/wedge-2. The MakerBot2X was used to produce this object, employing specific settings: 1. Layer thickness of 0.20mm 2. Double-layered build strategy 3. 10% density filling in a hexagonal pattern 4. Support structures were not necessary for printing
