Abstract: Printing and 3D scanning demonstrate potential in the teaching of biology and in engaging students in Basic Education with a scientific career. 3D printing enables the creation of three-dimensional solutions and their materialization, as well as the production of customized models for students with visual impairments or other special learning needs such as neurodiversities (e.g., ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia). 3D scanning, which involves the three-dimensional digitization of objects, can be used in conjunction with 3D printing to create immersive and interactive virtual three-dimensional collections. This study aimed to produce educational materials for biology teaching while introducing modeling, 3D scanning, and printing techniques into the school environment as a means of initiating undergraduate and Basic Education students into the academic career through Scientific Initiation programs. We present 3D educational models produced for biology classes at CAp-UERJ and the beginnings of a virtual educational collection with 3D scanning. This study reports the initial steps in creating interactive lessons with three-dimensional models and an interactive virtual biological collection at CAp-UERJ, developed by undergraduate and Basic Education students at CAp-UERJ. The printing of educational models showed significant potential in inclusive biology education, enabling the production of low-cost, manipulable, and customizable collections for various classroom needs. Specimen scanning appears promising for creating a virtual collection that allows for remote, hands-off study with the same quality as in-person study. Further studies are needed to fully understand the potential of 3D educational model production in science and biology education, as well as their contributions to initiating undergraduate and Basic Education students into an academic career.
