Professor Kimberly Cox (Biology Department) requested a 3D printed model of the Thalamus for her Functional Neuroanatomy Course. The Thalamus is a small, egg-shaped structure in the center of the brain that communicates with many other areas. Using this color-coded model, her students could identify the different subdivisions and better visualize how the Thalamus is organized to receive and send information to other brain regions.
The plans were designed by FHeder and purchased from cult3d and printed in the RMC Makerspace.
"Fairy Tale Beginnings" in 3D The “Fairy Tale Beginnings” class was always about building imagery.
Students in FREN-273 (taught by Dr. Balguerie) are asked to read several and analyze the common elements found in classic folk and fairy tales, and create 3D books as group projects. The photo shows one of the 3D books made by one group in the class.
In the Honors course “The Female Self in Lorca’s Drama” (taught by Dr. Bordera), students created a 3D scene/character or symbol representing a topic or perspective on a character related to Lorca’s plays and his vision of women in 1930s Spain. Some themes include female’s domesticity, female body entrapment, revisiting the concept of femininity and challenging of social female roles.
