For those on the list that have expressed their work I made a place to share. Its a 3D printing group on linked in. If interested in collaborating please join.

We have a sophomore student at Haverford who is blind and is hoping to be a physics major. I am investigating the ways that we can use 3D printing to provide him with access to the visual, graphical, and 3D materials that are required for his upper level physics and math courses, particularly quantum mechanics and multi-variable calculus. If anyone has found anything particularly applicable to my project in their research, I would love to discuss it! Exciting stuff!

I've gotten braille labeling outputted on models and am now looking at different topics to try out.  Seems like a perfectly good time to ask the list what do you wish you had a model of when you were learning science in school?  Look forward to the conversation!
