The UGears STEM Lab Curvimeter kit lets you build your very own mechanical opisometer device from pre-cut wooden parts!

Your unique device has a measuring wheel, clock face and hand to help measure the length of curved lines on topographic maps and plans.

It is a common tool for map-makers, tourists and road services as it can accurately calculate the distance between two points on a map!

Use the illustrated instructions to piece together the parts in this hands-on engineering project. There's no glue or special tools required!

Then, scan the QR code on your pack to receive a learning guide about your mechanism that allows you to interact with your UGears model!

You will learn about the principal of its working, its main characteristics and formulas, as well as other interesting tasks for you to undertake.

Consists of 109 DIY parts.

Estimated assembly time: 1-2 hours.

Assembled dimensions: 11.5cm x 10.3cm x 5.7cm

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Fairly easy to build, and the gear / cam mechanism is fascinating. I especially appreciated the contruction aids for getting the rubber edge onto the wheel.

Purchased two novelty miniature musical instrument desktop toys to take to work to amuse the office. Products are excellent and well packed for safe postage.
