Math and 3D Printing

Speaker: Yelena Vaynberg

3D printing technology has transformed the manufacturing landscape, making it possible to create complex shapes that were once challenging or unachievable with traditional methods. In this presentation, we will explore the mathematical underpinnings that are fundamental to 3D printing technologies, with a particular emphasis on the algorithms that translate digital models into executable printing instructions. We'll examine the role of mathematics in the slicing process, the significance of topology in enhancing structural integrity, and discuss how mathematical optimization can be utilized to minimize material use and reduce printing duration. Furthermore, this presentation will showcase how these principles are applied in practice by producing complex mathematical figures, including fractals and geometric sculptures.

  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
