The 4 inch model is meant to display the conic sections in mathematics on a 3D scale. The conic sections come from 2 cones, stacked on top of each other (tip to tip), being cut by planes in a 3D space, and the resulting cuts create 2D graphs. With the help of this model, the origin of these conic shapes can be seen more clearly and manipulated by mathematicians and students. Those who use the model can see the different types of shapes that are created as well as how they relate to each other in
