The widespread establishment of maker spaces in schools, community centers, and libraries offers an opportunity to develop Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) models that can be manufactured for science, mathematics, and engineering education courses. The Educational CAD Model Library provides a site for curated, peer-reviewed educational models.

The Visible Microscope
The Visible Microscope
May 3, 2024 - Science CAD Library
Watts, Jo; Bull, Glen; Berzin, Sabrina; Henriquez, Angelica, 2024, "The Visible Microscope", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/K9TGP4, University of Virginia Dataverse, V3
The Visible Microscope is inspired by the OpenFlexure microscope. The Open Flexure microscope is a laboratory-grade microscope constructed using 3D printed parts and a single-board computer that is widely used in research laboratories internationally (Sharkey, Foo, Kabla, Baumberg & Bowman, 2016). The Visible Microscope is an adapted version of the...
Decimal Snake
Decimal Snake
May 1, 2024 - Mathematics CAD Library
Kose, Norah, 2023, "Decimal Snake", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/3VDUDI, University of Virginia Dataverse, V6
The body of the Decimal Snake consists of 10 pieces. Each piece is equally partitioned into 10 parts. Once the “whole” of the Decimal Snake is designated, then each body part represents one-tenth of that whole, and each partition of a body part represents one-tenth of one-tenth (or one-hundredth) of that whole. The Decimal Snake is useful for teach...
Turtle Bug
Turtle Bug
Apr 18, 2024 - Mathematics CAD Library
Bonvini, Laura, 2024, "Turtle Bug", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/M1ICDB, University of Virginia Dataverse, V2
The bug counter can be used to compose or decompose numbers to create smaller or larger quantities. The counter and the pegs are quite large for smaller hands to grasp. The tool can help students develop number sense as they work on de/composing numbers, are exposed to addition and subtraction problem types, and gain understanding of subtraction an...

Mar 25, 2024
Wolfe, Elaine, 2024, "The Reynaud Praxinoscope", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/T2OODG, University of Virginia Dataverse, V2
In this project, students will assemble a model of a praxinoscope first designed by in 1877 by Charles-Émile Reynaud, observe essential components of animation machines, and determine how the essential components work together to create the illusion of animation. Over time, the development of several physical animation machines extended storytellin...

Gear Train Wind Turbine
Mar 8, 2024 - Engineering CAD Library
Fore, Ashley; Novitski, Ryan, 2024, "Gear Train Wind Turbine", https://doi.org/10.18130/V3/GQBJ5E, University of Virginia Dataverse, V2
A gear train is the foundation of any mechanical system that is formed by mounting gears on a frame so the teeth of the gears can engage to transmit torque or power to the device. Let's discover how a wind turbine uses this mechanical systems to take wind energy and convert it to electrical energy
