3D Printing Math
Mathematics Curriculum Website
3D Printing Math is a website containing a variety of 3D printing-related math lessons. These lessons aim to teach abstract mathematical concepts to students, grades 3-12, through 3D printed manipulatives. The site also contains dedicated video tutorials, teacher resources, and studies on how 3D printing has helped students improve their understanding of mathematics.
This website and the curriculum within are a result of ~9 years of work of numerous student research assistants (myself included) and Dr. Jill Cochran, a mathematics professor at Berry College.
The aim of 3D Printing Math is to illustrate mathematics with solid objects. As a result, many prints and designs have been made solely for this website.
The website also contains a series of guides on educating teachers about how 3D printers work and how certain problems may occur. These images illustrate the basic structure of a Creality Ender 3's hot end, and how issues like stringing or heat creep may affect print quality and appearance.
