Braille Box

Description of the model

Introducing the Braille Box – a versatile, snap-together 3D printing project designed for students aged 14-16, with a focus on inclusive design.

This hands-on project not only teaches essential CAD and 3D printing skills but also encourages students to think about accessibility and the real-world impact of their designs on people with visual impairments.

The Braille Box ZIP file includes everything needed to guide students through the design process, with fully assembled and part files ready to use in SolidWorks. Detailed working drawings and high-quality renders are also provided, showcasing the capabilities of CAD software in creating professional, high-quality designs.

Each part has been converted to .STL format, making it easy to 3D print a functional, glueless model for classroom demonstrations or individual projects. This resource is more than a technical toolkit—it’s a gateway to inspire students to think creatively, understand the value of inclusive design, and aim for top grades in their GCSEs.
