Abstract
Clovernook’s Arts & Accessibility Initiative provides free services to cultural spaces across the United States. We showcase some of their work in this session, using examples to frame different ways that spaces can think about applying 3D printing to their work. This session will provide attendees with an overview of the current state of 3D printing technologies, and how models can be used in a variety of cultural contexts. We will highlight the breadth of applications that widely available and inexpensive 3D printing technology can apply to across the arts sphere, and provide start-up ideas for cultural spaces interested in learning more. Attendees will also learn how models can improve cultural access not just for individuals who are blind or low vision, but also positively impact wider audiences - whether it be an exact replica of an art object, a 3D scan + print of an actor in a performance, or an abstract concept translated into a tactile format.
