Here are some pictures of my 3d printing assignement. I am already a bit familiar with solid works and for this assignement I wanted to find a good way to draw a shape fully defined by mathematical equation. I could have modified python script in antymony but as I am not very familiar with this language I finally used matlab. I choose to draw a Klein bottle. A script implementing the equation allow me to draw the shape with different parameter in a 3d environement (picture 1).Then by using a separate existing script I can convert surface coordinates (x,y,z) as a STL file. I then exported the shape in cura (picture 2) where I was able to slice the object and decrease the density to decrease the printing time.

The last picture corresponds to the 3d scanning of a drill.
