3D Printing Project with Accelerated Calculus Students, Carroll College
Students designed their own models from their choices of functions, revolved their functions around an axis, and 3D printed the resulting solid volume of revolution. They also applied the Shell and Washer methods, which are techniques for slicing the solid up into smaller cylinders or disks (respectively) so you can approximate the volume of the complete solid by adding up the volumes of the individual cylinders or disks. Then they made 3D prints representing these approximating techniques! Fall 2024
