Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-41"> Difficulties inherent in representing 3-&hyphen;D objects on 2-&hyphen;D media can present barriers to student understanding of mathematical concepts as they relate to solids.  All students, but particularly those who have visual impairments, can benefit from a tactile representation of mathematical objects.   </div><div class="line" id="line-27"> <br/></div><div class="line" id="line-38"> Because 3-&hyphen;D printers are becoming more commonplace and can generate a wide variety of objects, the ability to create real hands-&hyphen;on objects is no longer out of the question.  The authors will show how tactile 3-&hyphen;D objects can enhance mathematical experiences in Calculus and provide some helpful tips for good quality 3-&hyphen;D printing on Cube and MakerBot Replicator 2. </div>
