Learning and comprehension

We simplify graphics and sculptures or create them as desired for an individual adaption of content. 
In this example, text, colors, braille as well as white areas and textures can be produced in just one 3D print:

The talking children's castle map

How can regional history be told in a contemporary way for children without appearing dusty or boring? And how can we create inclusive access to this historical data? These two questions were the guiding principles for the development of a talking, tactile children's castle map for the Regensburger Land media centre. 

In order to bring children closer to the cultural treasures of the region (monuments and proverbs), selected images of castles and animals were printed in a tactile way on a map designed for children. A knight takes the children on a journey into the past via audio files. He sets them small tasks with which they learn tactile orientation on a map in a playful way. In his stories about the monuments, animals also have their say, explaining the origin and meaning of proverbs. 

The work under the direction of Gaby Eisenhut, together with the overall digital concept, received the 2022 Bavarian State Parliament Citizen's Award.

Here we have listed further use cases:

- Game plans, puzzles

- 3D figures in different 3D printing materials like soft, or coloured material

- 3D graphics in the subjects physics, chemistry, biology

- Transparent braille printing on existing materials for labelling

- The ink used is CE-certified in conformity with toys.
