Potential of full-colour 3d-printing in multisensual education

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Our Study investigates the potential of integrating tactile elements into educational materials using a specialized 3D printer, the XYZprinting Da Vinci Color . We are examining its effectiveness in professional learning environments. Additionally, we are exploring various methods such as scanning and modelling to create tactile-friendly print models. Well compile a comprehensive guide on utilizing the printer and these methods, which will streamline future research and application. Our findings indicate that while the printer can produce high-quality models, it also has limitations. Also, the effort needed to create printable and coloured models is strongly dependent on the use case.
