3D Printing in Mathematics

ISBN: 1470469162

This volume is based on lectures delivered at the 2022 AMS Short Course “3D Printing: Challenges and Applications” held virtually from January 3–4, 2022. Access to 3D printing facilities is quickly becoming ubiquitous across college campuses. However, while equipment training is readily available, the process of taking a mathematical idea and making it into a printable model presents a big hurdle for most mathematicians. Additionally, there are still many open questions around what objects are possible to print, how to design algorithms for doing so, and what kinds of geometries have desired kinematic properties. This volume is focused on the process and applications of 3D printing for mathematical education, research, and visualization, alongside a discussion of the challenges and open mathematical problems that arise in the design and algorithmic aspects of 3D printing. The articles in this volume are focused on two main topics. The first is to make a bridge between mathematical ideas and 3D visualization. The second is to describe methods and techniques for including 3D printing in mathematical education at different levels— from pedagogy to research and from demonstrations to individual projects. We hope to establish the groundwork for engaged academic discourse on the intersections between mathematics, 3D printing and education.
