I use 3D printing and basic 3D design to create accessible tools, learning aids, and tactile objects for people who are visually impaired or blind — especially children in school. My work focuses on making education more inclusive through custom, hands-on resources.


What I Do:

  • Design or adapt 3D models to create tactile learning tools (like braille labels, maps, shapes, and diagrams).
  • Use 3D printers to produce durable and accessible items tailored for visually impaired users.
  • Collaborate with educators, families, or organizations to understand the specific needs of students.
  • Prepare and optimize models for printing using slicing software and appropriate printer settings.
  • Maintain and operate 3D printers (usually FDM-based) and troubleshoot basic printing issues.


Focus Areas:

  • Educational tools (e.g. braille blocks, math aids, 3D letters, and anatomical models)
  • Tactile graphics and objects for learning and exploration
  • Custom assistive devices and solutions based on individual needs


Tools & Skills:

  • 3D Modeling Software (e.g. Fusion 360)
  • Slicing Software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer )
  • Basic printer maintenance and troubleshooting
  • Understanding of accessible and inclusive design principles
