Accessible 3D

Welcome to Accessible 3D! I’m Edis, a 33-year-old fully blind creator using 3D printing to break barriers and inspire inclusion.

Let’s redefine what’s possible together!

As a fully blind designer, OpenSCAD is my main design program. But sometimes I need to reach for other methods to get an idea across the finish line.

This time I used Claude Code to help me build a tactile map puzzle of Denmark. All 98 municipalities, for blind and visually impaired hands. 🇩🇰

On my own I managed to find an SVG map of Denmark. But an SVG is really just a picture. It has no idea which shape is which municipality, so I couldn't turn it into named, labelled pieces. Claude Code helped me track down proper geographic data, GeoJSON files with the real surveyed borders and the name of every kommune, and then build the generator that turns that data into the puzzle.

Here's the idea. Real, surveyed map data gets turned into a thick board with municipality-shaped recesses. Each removable piece is the true shape of a real kommune, kept at its true relative size, so a big municipality really does feel bigger than a small one. Every piece has a little grip k**b so it's easy to pick up, and a Danish braille label so you can read its name by touch. Drop each piece into its matching hole and you learn Denmark's geography entirely by feel. Shape, size, position, and name.

The whole thing is fully parametric: change one number and the entire 99-piece set rebuilds itself. The test piece just came off the printer and fits perfectly, so now it's time to build the full map. 🧩

The first section displays Python code responsible for translating geographic latitude and longitude coordinates into scaled millimeter dimensions, applying precise mathematical offsets to create matching puzzle pieces and board recesses. The second section displays OpenSCAD code that establishes the structural dimensions, character dot patterns (including specific Danish letters), and geometric intersection math required to render smooth, touch-friendly Braille text.

I am in the process of designing a tactile puzzle :)
This is the Danish map with the 98 different municipalities, and this will function as a puzzle :)
A puzzle and learning tool, as blind and visually impaired children and adults will be able to feel the size difference of the different municipalities, as well as the different shapes :)
Alt text: A collection of five 3D digital renderings showcasing a stylized board game map modeled after the geography of Denmark. The map features an extruded beige coastline outline set against a deep blue ocean background, filled with colorful, interlocking polygonal territories in shades of green, blue, pink, orange, and yellow. Each territory contains a small, rounded cylindrical token (pawn) and clusters of tiny white sphere structures.

The collection includes:
- ig_exploded.png: An isometric view where the colorful territory pieces are vertically floating and separated ("exploded") above the beige coastline frame.
- ig_hero.png: A standard isometric angled view showing the full map assembled with all territories neatly fitted within the coastlines.
- ig_topdown.png: A high-angle, top-down perspective looking straight down across the map regions.
- ig_inset.png: A close-up, cropped view focusing on a specific cluster of central territories and their distinct borders.
- ig_macro.png: An extreme close-up macro shot showcasing the 3D depth, shadows, and textures of a few individual territory blocks and game pieces.

Can you guess what I am working on? :)
This is one of these tasks that really make my work with 3D meaningful, and I can't wait to show you the printed model and tell you the story behind it! :)
But until then, let me hear your thoughts?
What do you think it is? :)

In Denmark, an accessible version of Tic tac Toe costs over 60 euros, excluding shipping!
All my life, I have looked at outrageous prices on anything and everything with the label of "accessible".
Well, I have held off making Tic Tac Toe, mostly because it takes 10 minutes to design and is pretty boaring, but here it is!
The cool thing is the print in place hinge so that you can fold it and take it with you, without losing the pieces!
The best thing?
Completely free!
Alt text: A compact black 3D-printed tactile tic-tac-toe game is shown resting on a light wooden table. The game is designed like a folding square case with a built-in hinge along the center, allowing it to close into a slim portable box. In the open position, the lower half contains a deeply recessed 3-by-3 grid with tactile game pieces placed inside. The circular pieces are smooth raised discs, while the X-shaped pieces are thick and sharply defined with beveled edges, making them easy to distinguish by touch for blind and sighted players alike. The deep square pockets help keep the pieces securely aligned during play. The upper half acts as a lid with a large recessed inner panel, and the outer closed view shows a clean minimalist textured surface with visible layer lines from FDM 3D printing. The entire model is printed in matte dark filament, likely black or deep navy PLA, giving it a professional and durable appearance.

I am so happy! :)
Today, I have been featured on Cults. and there official page :)
This recognition really means a lot to me! :)

So, my friends, my first openscad parametric beast! :)
You know I love fantasy, and of course, I have been working for a while on this dragon, since Openscad is not particularly good for this.
Anyway, this was my small weekend project, and as always, this is available on my cults3d profile :)

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day! :)

Today, I can finally reveal what I have been working on for the last couple of months :)
Braille3D, a 3d suite that runs online for creating braille 3D labels, business cards, signs and a lot of other stuff!

The link for the generator is in the comments, check it out!

Braille is the literacy language of blind people.

But if I am being completely honest, it still does not feel like braille is treated with the seriousness a real literacy language deserves.
Now, however, someone can sit at home, type a word into a browser, generate a braille label, and print it on a normal 3D printer, or at a local makerspace, or through a print service. Instead of braille production being a distant specialist thing, it becomes something practical and immediate.
If this is something that resonates with you, I would be grateful if you shared it :)

I prowdly present....
The accessible Stratego! :)
Ladies and gentlemen :)
I have really been looking forward to show you my latest accessible board game :)
So, stratego.
And as far as I know, this is one of the only real accessible versions out there! :)
I put a lot of careful consideration into this.
From designing the peg -in-hole system with a d shape so that you can't accidentally turn the bricks while exploring the board with your hands, to the multi colour design so that it is accessible to all! :)
I really hope you like this one :)
Alt text: This collection of 3D-printed Stratego game pieces and modular interlocking board components demonstrates an accessible design for blind, visually impaired, and sighted players, showcasing a tactile grid with D-shaped peg slots, high-contrast text and geometric rank icons on the front of the blocks, crisp Braille lettering on the backs for private reading, and a stable battlefield assembled via ball-joint connectors.

The first multi colour print on my Prusa XL! :)
And I love functional things, so I made this sign for my brother's automotive shop :)
I hope you like it!
Alt text: A physical 3D-printed sign features a single dark, textured plate divided by a thin horizontal bar. The top section displays the "KKJ-AUTOHJUL" logo alongside the slogan "Fælge & Dæk til netop din bil!", while the bottom section contains the directional text "INDGANG" and "Rundt om bygning" next to a large L-shaped arrow. A close-up view highlights the high-contrast, raised white lettering against the charcoal-colored background. Complementing these photos, a digital isometric rendering provides a clean preview of the design, showing the same layout as a white plate with black text and graphics outlined by a thin cyan selection border.

I have always had a very close and strong bond to my family 🙂
And therefore, naturally, I had to make a gift for my mother, for Mother’s Day. 🙂
This is a fully parametric Fibonacci vase 🙂

Alt text: A small floral arrangement displayed in a white 3D-printed Fibonacci parametric vase on a rustic wooden table. The vase has an elegant twisted spiral form that gradually rotates upward, covered in evenly spaced rounded bumps that create a tactile, sculptural texture. The bouquet contains two large pale pink poppy-like flowers with delicate layered petals and yellow centers, surrounded by clusters of small white daisy-like flowers and several dark purple blossoms on tall stems. The softly blurred background resembles a flower shop or café workspace with plants, furniture, and a chalkboard sign visible behind the arrangement.
