MO-Labs creates Mathematical Objects, see MO-Labs.com. Currently, some of our Math Objects are on display in the exhibition "Forms and Formulas" at the National Museum of Natural History and Science at Lisboa, Portugal. Until March 2013, it shows 45 of our Size-S cubic surfaces with lines and also six Size-XL surfaces (30cm tall) together with many new and historical models and even interactive pieces. See our MO-Labs Blog for some more details.
A more than 100 year-old classic for your own desk, in a modern, improved version!
In 1869, Christian Wiener constructed the first model of a cubic surface with 27 lines (in plaster, by hand!). This achievement opened the way for many similar objects in the following couple of years.
One of the most famous of these is certainly the one of the Clebsch Diagonal Surface which had been studied by Alfred Clebsch. Its model was probably planned by Alfred Clebsch and Felix Klein. Compared to the historical model, our version has the advantage that it only shows the surface itself and not a large body of plaster material as a support which is not part of the surface and which distracts from the pure geometry of the surface.
Part of the aesthetics of our objects comes from the fact that we chose to represent the surface in such a way that the ratio between the height and the width of our object is the so-called golden ratio.

The contour of the shape of this Math Object is essentially the M in our logo. Notice how the two branches meet in the middle of the letter, similar to the parts of the shape.
In math terms, such an apex is called singularity; more specifically, it is an A4-singularity or higher cusp singularity.
A small deformation of this surface is also available.

The greatest Clebsch model you've ever seen. This shows the full potential of modern 3d-printing: just a small part of the shape of the Clebsch Diagonal Surface, and all 27 lines! For a smaller version or the whole surface, see our other models.

MO-Labs creates Mathematical Objects of a great diversity. We have 3d-printed objects which we sell here, but we also have laser-in-glass objects, computer generated images and others. See MO-Labs.com for more information.
