3D Printed Model

A physical object created through additive manufacturing (layer-by-layer material deposition) that can serve as an accessible learning tool for blind and low vision users. 3D printing enables rapid, cost-effective production of tactile models with customizable features such as varied textures, removable components, braille labels, and embedded markers. In accessibility contexts, 3D printed models are used for STEM education, museum exhibits, and spatial understanding, offering advantages over traditional tactile graphics by representing complex three-dimensional structures directly.
