提出了一个新的和不断增长的3D模型库，可以用来说明结晶学领域中的许多重要概念。这些模型可以通过计算机和智能手机在课堂上使用，与结晶学教科书中的2D描述相比，它们具有显著的优势。通过使用免费的3D建模和动画程序Blender，已经创建了100多个新的模型，专注于结晶学教育的不同方面。为了简化分发/访问，所有这些模型都被上传到Sketchfab，这是一个模型托管和查看网站，其工作原理类似于YouTube。支持信息中还列出了当前的一组型号。所有这些型号都可以在网络浏览器或智能手机应用程序中免费查看。此外，所有这些模型都可以通过支持信息和Sketchfab免费下载，并鼓励用户下载和修改这些模型以最大限度地满足他们的需求。这个模型库是作者正在进行的为教育目的免费提供3D模型的推广计划的一部分，作者提供他们的服务来创建额外的模型，并在提供额外的请求或批评时调整这个库。
A new and growing library of 3D models that can be utilized to illustrate many important concepts in the field of crystallography is presented. These models are accessible in the classroom via computers and smartphones and offer significant advantages over 2D depictions found in crystallography textbooks. Through the use of Blender, a free 3D modeling and animation program, over 100 new models focusing on different aspects of crystallographic education have been created. To simplify distribution/access, all of these models have been uploaded to Sketchfab, a model hosting and viewing web site that works similarly to YouTube. The current set of models is also given as a list in the supporting information. All of these models are free to view in a web browser or through a smartphone application. Additionally, all of these models are freely downloadable through the supporting information and Sketchfab, and users are encouraged to download and modify these models to best suit their needs. This library of models is part of the authors' ongoing outreach program to provide 3D models for free for educational purposes, and the authors offer their services to create additional models and moderate this library as additional requests or critiques are provided.
