Abstract

This work aims to assist in the teaching of human morphology and in the prevention of skin cancers. It was dedicated to the design, prototyping and production, via 3D printing, of a solid model of human epidermal layers enlarged at the macroscopic level, which simulates the process of developing skin neoplasm by sun exposure. The pieces were designed to assist in the teaching of children who have some type of visual impairment. Such solids will provide the best understanding of the desired content, allowing a better understanding of the damage that exposure to the sun, carelessly, can cause.
