3D Printing Lets Blind Mom to be See her son - Teas Of Joy



For many mothers, getting a first look at their children before they are born is a given, but that is not the case for Tatiana Guerra.

Tatiana lost her eyesight when she was 17 and thought she would have to wait until her child was born to “meet” him. But the wonders of 3D printing changed that and allowed her to get a glimpse of her son.

The short film, titled “Meeting Murilo,” was made by Huggies Brazil as part of an ad campaign. It follows Tatiana to her 20-week ultrasound exam, where she has no idea she is about to be presented with a 3D printed image of her son, Murilo. 

Because she is unable to see the ultrasound like other expecting mothers can, Tatiana has to rely on verbal descriptions from the doctor to get a sense of what the child will look like.

“If you could touch him, would that let you know what he’s like?” her doctor asks in the video. He then presents her with a 3D model of her unborn son’s face.

“That’s an image of your son. See if he feels the way you think he does,” the doctor tells her.

“I am very happy to meet Murilo before he’s born,” Tatiana says in the video.
