CHAPTER 1
3D Math Functions
Since so much scientific visualization starts with looking at underlying mathematics, we are beginning this book on 3D printing for science projects with a chapter on 3D printing mathematical functions. The basic models in this chapter are intended to be a starter set that you alter to 3D print whatever function you like, within the boundaries we will get to in a later section.
Math Modeling for 3D Printing
It seems like it should be easy to just put an equation into a program and have the printer “draw” it somehow, like some sort of 3D pen plotter. However, if a 3D printer head just tried to follow an equation, it ...
