About this 3D model

NEGO is an educational and modular toy set designed to introduce children and design enthusiasts to the fundamental principles of ancient Roman architecture and structural statics. This set allows users to build legendary structures like Aqueducts, Triumphal Arches, and Vaults while exploring real-world physics through play. Key Features: Modular Design: Base modules that allow for various architectural combinations. Structural Learning: Experience the mechanics of "Dry Stone" stacking, where structures are held together by gravity and friction. Educational Components: Includes specialized units such as the Keystone (for locking arches), Buttresses (for lateral thrust support), and Water Channels (Specus). 3D Print Ready: All parts are optimized for FDM/SLA printing with minimal tolerances for a perfect fit. Statics & Physics Concepts Explored: Compression Forces: Learn how vertical loads are transferred to the ground through columns. Lateral Thrust: Understand why buttresses are essential to prevent arches from spreading. Center of Mass: Experiment with balance and stability using the Aquila (Apex) element.
