Space has been a mystery ever since the beginning. This mystery has created a curiosity among us human beings to uncover the wonders of space. Many inventions, innovative thinking and implementations of various technologies from different fields and their specific tools are necessary for this lucrative venture. Our challenge was to create interactive 3D models of equipment for education purposes and also for young inquisitive minds to look into Space Exploration.

Taking a lesson from the successful Apollo Mission, we have created few tools which can be used to explore space or matter pertaining to space.

• Contingency soil sampler: This is an ultra compact device for collection of rock samples.
• Spade: Spade is a modified version of a spade for exploration.
• Tongs: The main function is to pick specific objects at ease.
• Weight scale: This is used to measure the samples from the containers.
• Rake: The rake is used to collect rocks of various sizes. It is used with an extension handle, and the angle of the basket was adjustable.
• Special Environment Sample Container: Its function is to collect samples related to specific environment. It is filled with simulated lunar soil and the seal protectors were removed. The knife edge is on the rim of the body and the soft indium strip is in the lid rim.
• Tool carrier:Its function is for storage of numerous geologic hand tools for space exploration.
• Gnomon : This is a tripod used for measurement of small rocks and view direction of casted shadow by the gnomon. The central rod could pivot freely on the base and provided a vertical reference, a length scale, a shadow for orientation and had a grayscale to guide the explorer. 
• Small scoop: A smooth scoop can be used to collect the mud and put it into the container. It is an adjustable angle scoop.
• LRV Soil Sampler:Lunar Roving Vehicle Sampler consists of a head, which contains a stack of cup-shaped sample bags. 
• Modern hammer: We have modified and updated the hammer for effortless strikes.
• Large scoop: This is used to smoothly pick large amounts of samples for storage.
• Drill: We have a high power drill to efficiently dig out the land.
• Core sample Vacuum container: The CSVC was designed to provide vacuum protection to a single, 4-cm drive tube. The sealing mechanism was similar to the Special Environment Sample Container.
• Large hammer: A Large Hammer is connected with an extension handle to strike far areas.This large hammer provides both a greater impact force because of its weight and leads to a broad striking surface.
• Trench: A trench is an adjustable-angle tool which is used to dig trenches in the lunar regolith. The shovel based tool is used to dig out the soil easily.
• Extension handle: A universal tool that fits into various other tools to reach long distances for the respective functions of the tools. A single extension handle could be used with a scoop, hammer, rake, core tube, or drive tube, thus, saving the added weight of each tool having a long handle. 
• Gas Analysis Sample Container: The GASC was a reliable vacuum sealed container used for holding a small amount of lunar soil.The GASC is a smaller version of the Environment sample container of similar operation.
• Lighter-weight hammer: Lighter-weight hammer is attached to a shorter-style extension handle for use as a hoe.

We, the team 3Dify, totally understand that tools are a basic requirement to construct or find and store anything in the universe. Hence, we came up with this project to demonstrate various 3D tools.

Re-constructing and modifying 3D tools designed for the Apollo mission paves a clear path to exploration of other planets.

A detailed study of the soil samples back to earth will equip us with the knowledge for habitation on other planets and take us one step close to our future.

All our 3D tools furnish the explorers with better functionality and are highly compatible, regardless of the planet to explore.

The best part is all our 3D tools can be 3D printed effortlessly.

These models will help us understand the structure and function of tools for exploration. It also helps in education of young minds with insight of tools.
