What are some ideas for student 3D printing projects?

I have a student who is trying to create a rose to 3-d print using Mathematica, but we need more info and we need more help and it needs to be more research-driven than trial and error. What can I have my student work on to make this process meaningful and useful.

Hi Lanee,

You can check the ideas found in the “Love heart jewelry” post series by @Frederick Wu. You can find them in the Staff Picks section found at the bottom of his profile
