Description

The aim of my project is to enable students studying at school levels such as university, high school, and secondary school to examine the seafloor shapes more closely by using 3D printed models as visual materials. This way students and world map globes can be made more interesting thanks to 3D landforms. In addition, while laying internet and oil-like pipes, costs can be reduced by paying attention to the places and landforms where the fault lines pass, thanks to the models in the virtual environment. We did not receive any financial support for the creation and printing of the models. We just used the 3D printer in our school. Our target audience in our project is the public and students. In the next period, I uploaded the virtual models I made to a web page thanks to the web page design lessons I took and ensure that people can access the models easily.
