SOBRAL, João E. C.; EVERLING, Marli T.  and  CAVALCANTI, Anna L. M. S.. Ver com as mãos e dar à luz um mundo: a Tecnologia 3D e suas possibilidades cognitivas para pessoas cegas. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2020, n.83, pp.162-175. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi83.3737.

The HOMERO 3D Laboratory is linked to the Postgraduate Program in Design of Joinville University (PPGDesign / Univille), and to the IRIS Research group, which investigates methods of digital manufacturing and photographic proceedings attached to the design context along with teaching and learning processes. The Laboratory aims to foster technical-scientific research focusing on 3D printing and its potential as a teaching facilitator driven to blind people. The studies obtained so far, reinforce the perception that the popularization, improvement and cost reduction of the 3D printer expands the potential for the development of communication and educational activities aimed at blind people regarding: graphic-formal perception and memory; abstract concepts configuration; the change of textual printings into sound signals; and finally, the potential of learning and educational concepts in reducing the abstraction level. Throughout the report tactile sense, perception and cognition are discussed aiming the understanding of blind people learning process along with possible contributions of 3D printing in the dynamics of ‘seeing’ with the hands. The results will support research and teaching activities as well as the work of the research group associated with PPGDesign Univille, located in the city of Joinville, Santa Catarina.
