“…Our research builds on existing literature on maker culture which explores accessibility and inclusivity in a wider sense. Prior work [7,32] notes the benefits that participants gain from being in the group environment; we also found this to be the case. Frauenberger et al [12] discuss how researchers and participants become closer over time, understanding each other's perspective more.…”

“…They argue that ideas around inclusivity and accessibility go beyond just what is needed physically, but also what is required in terms of the social and community setting of these collaborative making activities. Buehler [7], when working with people with intellectual disabilities (ID), towards increasing their technical 3D printing skills, closely collaborated with someone with ID in order to better understand their learning process. This close collaboration led to the creation of personalised learning materials which were used in followon collaborative making sessions with a wider group.…”

“…Our approach aligns with the focus of third-wave HCI as discussed by Bødker, which is centred largely around emotions and experiences as opposed to "purposefulness" [2]. Our work builds on existing literature around accessibility, inclusion and making, particularly where participants have the opportunity to share ideas with one another and work in a group environment [6,7,17,32]. Through a series of participatory making workshops that involved hands-on making activities with VI participants we asked what needs to happen to enable etextile making, particularly so that participants feel they are in control of the making process, can express themselves creatively, and have a sense of autonomy.…”

We describe our experience of working with blind and visually impaired people to create interactive art objects that are personal to them, through a participatory making process using electronic textiles (e-textiles) and hands-on crafting techniques. The research addresses both the practical considerations about how to structure hands-on making workshops in a way which is accessible to participants of varying experience and abilities, and how effective the approach was in enabling participants to tell their own stories and feel in control of the design and making process. The results of our analysis is the offering of insights in how to run e-textile making sessions in such a way for them to be more accessible and inclusive to a wider community of participants.

“…Through this study, we aim to nuance the understanding of practices surrounding 3D printing, where the 3D printer, although overly hyped in popular media, still has the potential to be disruptive, impacting both the society at large, but also the field of interaction design research and practice. Aspects of interaction in 3D printing practice highlighted by our study are commonly not articulated as critical to the competences of learning and interacting with 3D printers [5,24,51]. The interactions focused on here may include the tangible feel of a material's quality, e.g.…”

This paper offers a conceptual contribution to understand 3D printing practice. We have studied conversations between 3D printing practitioners who discuss failed and discarded printed artifacts and analyzed how they make sense of the printing process. Based on findings of interactions with the machine itself, materials used, and designs applied, this study contributes to the field of HCI by highlighting the embodied and situated dimensions of 3D printing. Introducing the concept of machine sensibility, we characterize our findings around: i) assessing printability, ii) monitoring and intervening and iii) reading the prints. We use the term machine to highlight the importance of understanding the materiality of the 3D printer, and sensibility, to address critical interactions and abilities that surfaced in studying this practice. The concept allows researchers to put 3D printing practice in the context of contemporary interaction design research and helps to understand challenges of material-machine-design interdependencies.

“…The researchers saw an increase in student engagement and recommend using 3D printed fossils as a way to develop future STEAM-inclusive content knowledge in difficult topics like evolution and climate change. As a tactile component to geoscience lesson plans, 3D printed specimens can open up educational avenues for differently abled audiences to participate (Buehler et al, 2015). For example, Teshima et al (2010) used 3D printed scaled-up skeleton models of radiolarians and foraminifera and presented them to visually impaired high school students.…”

Applications of 3D Paleontological Data at the Florida Museum of Natural History

et al. 2020

The past decade has seen an exponential increase of innovative applications of 3D technology in the geosciences. Here, we present a case study from the Florida Museum of Natural History applied to the multidisciplinary field of paleontology. We have deployed 3D scanning and printing techniques for the purposes of scientific research, formal education, and informal outreach. Depending on the application of the 3D file, different techniques are utilized to create high-fidelity models of physical fossil specimens or geologic field sites. These techniques include X-ray CT scans, surface scans, and photogrammetry, all of which produce 3D models that vary in resolution and scale. Novel paleontological research applied non-destructive CT scanning to explore the internal anatomy of fossil museum specimens, additionally, 3D models are being used to create K–12 curricula aligned with national and state-specific education standards that are implemented in formal classroom settings. Many of these lessons are part of the NSF-funded iDigFossils project, which aims to evaluate students’ motivation and interest towards science, technology, engineering, and mathematics after participating in integrated 3D printing and paleontology lessons. Specifically, lessons on dinosaur trackways, horse evolution, and the Great American Biotic Interchange teach geologic concepts such as deep time, taphonomy, plate tectonics, and evolutionary trends. The same 3D models developed for these K–12 lessons have been used during Florida Museum’s outreach events to engage broad audiences with hands-on exhibits and activities. All 3D files are stored on open-access, online repositories, providing accessibility to fossil specimens and field sites. The application of 3D technology for the study of fossils and paleontology will continue to expand the impact of scientific discoveries for basic research as well as for broader impacts on society.
