To promote the inclusion of students with disabilities, it is possible to use personalized materials manufactured in a 3D printer to facilitate the understanding of contents taught during classes. In this context, this study aims to develop materials from three-dimensional scanning and additive manufacturing technologies that assist in the learning process and in the mobility of persons with disabilities. During the period from March 2019 to December 2021, nine students with disabilities were interviewed at a university. Subsequently, the researchers followed some classes taken by these students to understand their demands. Therefore, ideas were designed and materialized to be validated and improved. At the same time, to optimize the project management, methodologies were used to prioritize the demands with the establishment of deadlines to produce the pieces. It was observed that these materials were used by students with and without disabilities, showing contributions in the learning process and in social interaction.
