In this video we'll uncover the connection between the previous diagram and the rotation formulas. Repeat viewing suggested!
Let's apply what we just learned to calculate the touching point.
Step by step instructions to print numbered dice for games using a 3D printer and TinkerCad design.
Design and create your own custom, 3D printed zipper pull! This project utilizes Tinkercad and some simple tools.
Students learn how 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is revolutionizing the manufacturing process. First, students learn what considerations to make in the engineering design process to print an object with quality and to scale. Students learn the basic principles of how a computer-aided design (CAD) model is converted to a series of data points then turned into a program that operates the 3D printer. The activity takes students through a step-by-step process on how a computer can control a manufacturing process through defined data points. Within this activity, students also learn how to program using basic G-code to create a wireframe 3D shapes that can be read by a 3D printer or computer numerical control (CNC) machine.
We can use de Casteljau's algorithm to calculate curves using any number of points.
Let's take a closer look at the weights used during subdivision. Do we have to be careful when selecting weights?
Let's look more closely at how light bounces when it strikes an object. We'll cover reflected and refracted rays.
Are we really creating parabolic curves using this construction? Let's gain some insight first.
Use an array to store many objects as well as create any shape you can imagine. Click here to review objects.
Now you can start scaling your shapes to make your lamp look younger.
Next we need to explore the mathematics of scaling.
Now you are ready to start subdividing your own shapes with more than 4 points!
How can trees be combined to count robots with many parts?
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create an interactive story about giving a gift to an alien visiting Earth. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understanding of message blocks.
We need to be careful with the order of scaling and translation. But why?
Tree diagrams allow us to visualize these counting problems using any number of parts.
Next you'll use functions to *store* your deformer functions.
Okay we know how to calculate the touching point, great! Next let's think about how we can prove this is true.
Next let's build a blade of grass using a parabolic arc as a spine.
