Free for any school, anywhere.
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.
Useful tools
Open-source tools built by the consortium and made available alongside the library — production-ready today, free to use, free to adapt.
Braille Dome
Generate 3D-printable braille labels with rounded dots — safe for children's hands. Built by Buinho in 2026 as part of the Fingers Read Space toolkit. Bilingual EN/PT, supports accented characters, numbers and uppercase. CC BY-SA 4.0.
3D models
The library is being built
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.
Video guides
Coming in 2027
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.
Methodology & best practices
Coming in 2027
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.
