Blind Moms Can Now 'See' Their Unborn

                Expectant parents with sight issues are being given the chance to ‘see’ their unborn baby scans thanks to an innovation which prints 3D models of the fetus in the womb. The groundbreaking innovation means that even mums and dads with visual impairments can have an experience of ‘seeing’ their unborn baby as it appears on an ultrasound scan. A bas-relief of 3D print of an unborn child can be created – all they need is a file with a 3D ultrasound examination.

                The models are printed in ecru colored non-toxic bioplastic material. The bas-relief is a true three dimensional representation of baby and environment in the mother’s womb. They maintain all proportions, spatial relations and actual dimensions of the unborn child. The project, which is intended for blind mothers to have a unique chance to see their unborn babies, is soon to be offered to pregnant women outside of Poland.
