Apr 2, 2025 · Dr. Robert Krueger, a mathematics professor at CSP, leads the way for CSP students to tap into their creative side through mathematics with his 3D Printing Project in Calculus III.

Apr 16, 2020 · Using the example of 3D-printed graphs of functions, the use of this technology in calculus is discussed within the three approaches of Grundvorstellungen, Subjective Domains of Experience and Empirical Theories.

Here’s their story of exploring 3D printing in Multivariable Calculus with the Ultimaker 2+ during the Fall 2016 semester at SXU. For class this semester, I created three lessons to introduce 3D printing into my learning outcomes for this course. Each student brought his or her own distinctive style and abilities while working on the projects.

Mar 17, 2020 · For example, the 3D-printing feature of CalcPlot3D enables instructors to print 3D models of surfaces to bring to the classroom for students to tangibly engage with multivariable calculus concepts.

This page is meant to serve as a resource for those curious about how the models used in Manipulative Calculus were designed and produced. We organize the page by construction technique: 3D Printing, Thermoforming, Laser-Cutting, and what we call Low-Tech Props.

Feb 6, 2015 · What Is 3D Printing • Additive (not subtractive) manufacturing. • A hot glue gun on a robot arm. • Build object in thin slices (layers). • Material: thermoplastic (PLA, ABS, PET). Temperature 215-270°C

We used a 3D printer to develop models and activities for our calculus sequence. For more information about the models we have created and to nd the source codes, visit our website at https://cu3d.github.io/. Making the Models. 3D Printer: We purchased the LulzBot TAZ 6 desktop printer for approximately $2,500.

Objective: Utilize 3D printing to visualize mathematical curves such as the Brachistochrone and Tautochrone curves. Tools: Generate parametric equations using Desmos, Mathematica, or GeoGebra. Convert curves to 3D models in Tinkercad, Fusion 360, or other modeling software. Print using Bambu Lab Studio slicer.

Feb 23, 2023 · In this article, several 3D-printed manipulatives for the teaching of differential and integral calculus are presented and reflected upon in the context of the subject-matter approach of Grundvorstellungen (translation: basic ideas).

Oct 15, 2018 · Using the example of 3D-printed graphs of functions, the use of this technology in calculus is discussed within the three approaches of Grundvorstellungen, Subjective Domains of Experience...
