材料科学和工程入门课程普遍包括晶体结构和晶胞的研究，这些本质上是高度可视化的 3D 概念。传统上，此类主题是通过 2D 绘图或一组有限的难以构建的 3D 模型来探索的。 3D 打印的兴起，加上大量免费提供的在线晶体学数据，为材料科学可视化问题提供了一种优雅的解决方案。在这里，我们报告了一种简洁且最新的方法，可以轻松快速地将实际晶体学文件转换为不同晶胞的 3D 模型，以用作教学辅助工具。
Introductory materials science and engineering courses universally include the study of crystal structure and unit cells, which are by their nature highly visual 3D concepts. Traditionally, such topics are explored with 2D drawings or perhaps a limited set of difficult-to-construct 3D models. The rise of 3D printing, coupled with the wealth of freely available crystallographic data online, offers an elegant solution to materials science visualization problems. Here, we report a concise and up-to-date method to easily and rapidly transform actual crystallography files to 3D models of diverse unit cells for use as instructional aids.
