Formula Sculpture

The formula every classroom has, standing on the desk: Pythagoras, the quadratic, Euler's identity, E = mc², the area of a circle - set in real mathematical type, the symbols 12 mm deep on a plate that is the formula's own outline, a foot bar with the class or the teacher's name. Or on the wall.

How it's made. The formula is set from real mathematical type (superscripts, fractions, radicals and Greek all typeset properly), then grown 3 mm into a silhouette plate that joins every symbol into one piece. Standing: symbols 12 mm deep on a 3 mm plate, a 25 mm foot bar the plate runs into, the class line raised on the foot's front. Wall: symbols 8 mm deep, two keyholes on the back. Symbols and plate in their own colours. PLA, no supports, printed flat on its back.
