Mola Structural Kit 4 | Magnetic Modular Kit for Engineering and Architecture Education | 145 Pieces + Practical Guide

Mola Structural Kits are interactive physical models designed to make it fun and easy to understand real structural behavior–and materialize your own building solutions. Its use is very simple and intuitive and requires no prior technical knowledge. With Mola Structural Kit 4, you can have a playful, engaging, and tangible way to learn structural engineering by conducting experiments with curved bars to simulate arches, origami-inspired shell structures, and exclusive new components allow for unprecedented building and customizable possibilities. This kit includes a 42-page, full-color practical guide that takes you through model building with detailed illustrated instructions. Mola 4 works independently but is also 100% compatible with Mola 1, Mola 2, Mola 3, and Mola accessories, becoming an even more versatile solution for you to create and test almost any structure you can imagine. What about reproducing and exploring your favorite iconic buildings worldwide? This is a perfect tool for engineers, architects, dedicated higher education professors and high school physics teachers, sculptures artists, and lifelong learners interested in architectural structures. For people aged 14 and over.

• DISCOVER INTUITIVELY HOW ARCHS AND SHELL STRUCTURES WORK: Instinctively build and visualize systems from the ground up by connecting parts that act as foundations, beams, columns, archs, shells, dome, bracing elements, connections, walls.
• FREEDOM TO QUICKLY TEST OUT YOUR IDEAS: Push and prod at your models to see whether they can take any external pressure without collapsing, embrace this trial and error experience to optimize your structural solutions.
• A SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED TOOL: Mola parts are designed with specific materials to realistically simulate the behaviors of structures, from single elements to plane frames, space structures, and even more complex systems.
• 145 MODULAR PIECES: Includes a base grid, ground connectors, plate units, archs bars, oldable origami sheets and a variety of spring bars and connector pieces; ​​high-quality durable metals and magnets bind pieces together to create countless structures of your choice.
• 42-PAGE WORKBOOK (ENGLISH/PORTUGUESE) INCLUDED: Welcome to the world of arches and shell structures. Mola 4 expands the Mola Structural System by introducing folding techniques and origami principles to demonstrate how form affects structural efficiency. Full of illustrated details to instigate experimentation with engineering principles such as arches, shells, domes, and much more.
• COMPACT TOOL: The Mola Structural Model is compact, versatile and easy to use. All parts are connected through magnetism, and each one represents one or more elements of a real structure.
