With a growing community of 3D print model creators, accessibility for visually impaired people is continuing to expand, and these files provide numerous benefits. Some include: Going beyond braille.

Even more exciting, 3D printing lets scholars create physical models. Rather than imagining how a Renaissance prosthesis worked, scholars can physically test one.

The process of introducing the Kassel Hand model to the public highlights that just as the 16th-century amputee who wore the artifact had to learn to use it, one must learn to use the 3D-printed ...

As we fine-tuned designs, I’ve created and edited its computer-aided design files – the digital 3D constructions of the model – and printed and assembled its parts countless times.

A 3D-printed model of a 16th-century prosthetic hand enables physical testing of historical prosthetic mechanisms, offering insights into their function and user experience.
