3D Printed Science Projects Volume 2 is the follow-up to Horvath and Cameron’s first 3D Printed Science Projects book, and it steps the difficulty up a notch. Where the first volume aimed at introductory science-fair concepts, this second volume is built for advanced science fair participants, high schoolers, and undergraduates who want to explore physics, math, engineering, and geology concepts through hands-on, 3D-printed models rather than textbook diagrams alone.
Feature List
- Eight complete 3D-printable science models, each paired with a full explanation of the underlying physics, math, engineering, or geology concept.
- Open-source model files provided through a companion GitHub repository, free to download, modify, and reprint.
- Print-optimized designs — each model is specifically designed to print cleanly on standard, open-source (RepRap-style) 3D printers, with practical printing tips included.
- Creative hands-on activities built around each printed model, not just the STL files themselves — turning each project into a teaching or demonstration tool.
- Advanced-level content, pitched above the introductory first volume, aimed at advanced science fair projects, high school, and undergraduate-level understanding.
- 82 color illustrations and diagrams plus supporting black-and-white figures to visualize concepts alongside the physical models.
- Written for non-specialists — accessible to “technology-squeamish” teachers and parents, without requiring an engineering background to follow along.
- Real scientific and engineering grounding, drawing on the authors’ backgrounds in aerospace engineering and open-source hardware development.
