The file 'Multipurpose Tangent Solver 3D Printer Model' is (dxf,stl) file type, size is 111.8KB.
This project requires 3D printing and laser cutting (we also used 3D milling, but one can use only laser cutting). By some additional hardware (ball bearings, o-rings, screw) we obtain some components can be assembled in different ways in order to make significative activities concerning a geometrical approach to Calculus. Specifically one can "touch" and "guide" the tangent to a curve, make geometrical derivatives and anti-derivatives, and also solve differential equations (solve slope fields) to trace exponential curves and parabolas.
