Gorgeous 3D print models of math and science concepts are available to download and create for an accessible classroom. The screen-reader accessible site provides a library of 3D print designs organized into categories: biology, chemistry, math, and physics. 

Print animals, elements, shapes, a multiplications table and more. The site includes help for getting started with 3D printing. And there's a page for requesting specific models to aid your curriculum.
