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

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.
