About this 3D model

Knots are embeddings of circles in 3-dimensional space, but they are typically studied in terms of their projections into 2-dimensional space. We can use 3D printing to study knots in a more 3-dimensional way. In this series we present 3D printed conformations of the fifteen knots through seven crossings, including stick, Lissajous, lattice, torus, petal, and pretzel conformations. Constructing a 3D knot model that is actually printable can challenging; to 3D print the knot conformations through seven crossings, we used a combination of Mathematica, Blender, Tinkercad, Knotplot, SeifertView, and OpenSCAD.
