The Squeeze Theorem

The Squeeze Theorem is a difficult concept to grasp without a visual. The following 3D printing project helped my peers and I learn about this calculus-based theorem.

Initial Design

Squeeze Theorem Design

Like the nameplate activity, a 3D design was first needed to create the final 3D product. Using Tinkercad, the final product was created and all set for 3D printing. Creativity will go a long way when designing these products.

Final Product

Final 3D Squeeze Theorem Model

The final 3D product is an exact replica of the original design. Using a 3D printer, this model can be used to visually explain the squeeze theorem. Other mathematical theorems can be designed and visually presented using a 3D printer.
