Our project to print 3D tactile astronomical resources for blind and visually impaired people has received a «Proof of Concept» project grant within the framework of the national program to promote scientific-technical research and its transfer, from the National Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research Plan 2021-2023, in its 2022 call, within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
With this funding we have acquired a Lisa 3D printer (by Sinterit), with SLS technology, with which we will develop prototypes of 3D models related to the research lines of our group: stars, galaxies, large-scale structure and cosmology.
We will soon start publishing the new models on this website!
Project’s reference: PDC2022-133930-I00.
