Creating open source repository of 3D models of laboratory equipments using Blender

Abstract

Laboratory experiments provide hands on experience to students, thereby enhancing their understanding of the given topic. Often, due to lack of resources, interactive simulations of laboratory experiments are an attractive substitute. Simulations could be two dimensional (2D) or they could be three dimensional (3D). 3D has added advantages of multiple viewing angles, more realistic views with textures and lights, and cross-section walk-through.
