In this article we’ll walk through how to create a simple penny trap model four ways: in Tinkercad, Fusion 360, OpenSCAD, and the Thingiverse Customizer…
Our Giant Spiky Perko Knot takes six days to print… In this post we’ll walk through a reprint of this giant 3D model, and compare dissolvable and breakaway supports…
You can create a unique, custom generated 3D-printed clock face with just a little bit of design knowledge and an inexpensive battery-powered clock kit…
The Snowflake Machine uses random numbers, mathematical algorithms, computer code, and SCIENCE to create over a billion unique, beautiful snowflakes…
This week we recreated a special collection of 3D knot models based on projects we did with students a few years ago, suitable for printing on SLS printers…
One of our favorite 3D designs is a model of Dudeney’s famous hinged dissection of a triangle to a square, also known as the Haberdasher’s Puzzle…
This is a joint work by Edmund Harriss (gelada) and Laura Taalman (mathgrrl), inspired by British constructivist artist Mary Martin’s artwork “Inversions”…
Sometimes a digital 3D design looks great in software, but just can’t make it in reality. We’ll examine how auto-checks, human checks, and prototyping can help…
Do we need another filament sampler model? Probably not, but we made one anyway, using Tinkercad, Fusion, Blender, and OpenSCAD to make it customizable…
The simplest non-tetrahedralizable polyhedron is the Schönhardt polyhedron, which is a twisted triangular prism constructed in such a way that…
