Open library
Everything we produce — 3D models, video guides, best-practice notes — is published openly so any teacher, school or fab lab can download, print and adapt it.
The first 3D models will be published here from late 2026 onwards, as the consortium completes the design, printing and testing cycle. Each model will come with print-ready files (STL), suggested print settings, and a teaching guide.
Each 3D model in the library will be accompanied by a short video showing how to use it in the classroom — for both specialised and mainstream teachers working with blind and visually impaired students.
A standardised methodology for designing 3D tactile aids that work pedagogically: how to size features for fingertip resolution, how to avoid visually-derived design assumptions, how to integrate with existing tactile workflows, and how to involve students in design.
