<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Athen’s list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working with a student who is completely blind and is taking A&P on our campus this fall semester. I am working with the professors to locate models of tissues, or create tactile soft tissue models. I have been exploring using 3D printers.
However, with 3D we need designed files that will work with a 3D printer. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Does anyone have files that they are willing to share for 3d images for a 3D printer for A&P? I don’t want to re-invent the wheel!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Do you have any vendor contacts to purchase plates or models of the different tissues types that are tactile. The lab professor mentioned this: “The students learn that there are 4 main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle
and nervous tissue. They then learn the different types of each of these tissues, like stratified squamous epithelium, simple squamous epithelium, etc. There are 8 different connective tissues-cartilage, adipose, reticular, etc. A big part of learning these
is looking at the pictures and learning the description of each. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. I already purchased this through American Printing house for the blind:
