The article discusses the application of polyhedron modeling within the framework of STEM projects for the training of future specialists in engineering and pedagogical specialties. The active inclusion of 3D modeling in the educational process is aimed at integrating scientific knowledge, technology, engineering, and mathematics through solving practical tasks and real engineering challenges. Modeling polyhedra, in particular, allows for a deeper exploration into the properties of geometric figures, their symmetry, and proportions, which not only facilitates the understanding of abstract mathematical concepts but also promotes the development of logical and spatial thinking. Special attention is given to the project “Modeling spatial images of polyhedra”, which includes analysis, step-by-step model creation in AutoCad, the use of software tools for 2D and 3D design, and printing models on a 3D printer. These activities not only enhance the practical skills of educational candidates but also open broader prospects for innovation and professional development in the fields of engineering and pedagogy. A step-by-step creation of a 3D prismatoid model has been developed and described, including the integration of faces, shape optimization for 3D printing, and mesh smoothing to improve visual quality. Before completion, the model undergoes a check for geometric errors and is visualized using realistic materials and lighting to better represent its physical characteristics and use for educational purposes. The STEM project involves the physical realization of a digital model through 3D printing. Printing a three-dimensional prismatoid model on a 3D printer encompasses three main stages: preparation and modeling, the actual printing, and, if necessary, mechanical post-processing. Initially, the prismatoid model is exported in .stl or .obj formats, and then the software slices it into layers for printing. Before exporting, it is crucial to remove all unnecessary lines and polylines, ensuring that all 3D planes merge into a single model correctly. For optimal printing, the model is positioned on the print bed to ensure maximum stability and minimize the need for support. The final print may require mechanical post-processing to enhance its appearance; however, some technologies, such as FDM, allow complex mechanical parts to be used directly after printing.
У статті розглядається застосування моделювання багатогранників у рамках STEM-проєктів для підготовки майбутніх фахівців інженерно-педагогічних спеціальностей. Активне включення 3D-моделювання у освітній процес спрямоване на інтеграцію наукових знань, технологій, інженерії та математики через виконання практичних завдань та реальних інженерних викликів. Моделювання багатогранників, зокрема, дає змогу глибше зануритись у вивчення властивостей геометричних фігур, їхньої симетрії та пропорцій, що сприяє не лише засвоєнню абстрактних математичних концепцій, але й розвитку логічного і просторового мислення. Особлива увага приділяється проєкту “Моделювання просторових зображень багатогранників”, що включає аналіз, покрокове створення моделей в AutoCad, застосування програмних інструментів для 2D- і 3D-проєктування та друк моделей на 3D-принтері.
