Development and production of an inclusive didactic resource for the introduction to the use of maps through 3D printing

Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to present the development process and creation of an inclusive didactic resource for the introduction of basic concepts of map usage through 3D printing. The proposal seeks to deepen the discussion on the combination of technology with the studies of Tactile Cartography, adapting graphical representations to better meet the needs of visually impaired students. By uniting these elements, it aims to facilitate the learning and understanding of maps in an accessible and interactive way, promoting the dissemination of adapted didactic resources for the teaching of cartography.
