7. Create 3D prints usable for tactile exploration
Why use physical models in a learning process? In 2016 Jo Wonjin and other researchers published in the Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness the article ‘Introduction of 3D Printing Technology in the Classroom for Visually Impaired Students’. This articles added to the existing knowledge of the advantage of involving physical models in a learning […]

5. How learners access 3D printing
This short presentation describes how learners with a vision impairment can access 3D printing. It discusses accessible software that learners can use to design 3D models and how they can print their own 3D models.
4. How to present 3D models
This is a short video presentation explaining how to present 3D models to learners with a vision impairment. It discusses the key principles you need to remember and how much support you may need to offer a learner exploring an object for the first time.
3. How to 3D print
This is a short video presentation on how to download models specifically designed for learners with a vision impairment, how to prepare the model for printing and how to use the 3D printer.
2. What to 3D Print?
This short presentation describes what objects can be usefully 3D printed for learners who are blind or have a severe vision impairment. It highlights the importance of always using actual objects if possible and using the 3D4VIP decision tree to help decide if a 3D printed model will be useful.
1. Benefits of 3D printed objects
This short presentation describes the importance of 3D models for learners who are blind or who have a vision impairment. It highlights the advantages of models designed specifically for these learners and identifies the multiple benefits of 3D printed models.
