Providing physical and tactile models, is a great way to both attract potential audiences to your research and to communicate key aspects of your research to your target audience. In this workshop, we will explore what makes for an effective tactile model, how to design a model for different contexts, and how to optimize a model for 3D printing. Participants will use CAD to protype 3D models. No prior experience with 3D modeling software or 3D printing is required. Please sign up if you plan on attending.
