Welcome to 3D Teaching Aids
3D Teaching Aids produces instructional aids to compliment the Ortin-Gillingham Method for teaching phonics. We design our 3D teaching aids for grades per-K through 3rd and all special needs students. Our designs have been classroom tested and refined over the past two years and now we're ready to introduce them.
We design our aids to make your life as classroom teacher, or a traveling teacher/tutor easier and the lessons more effective, rewarding and enjoyable for your students.

We're a new company, with a new production and business model. For Ortin-Gillingham trained teachers and tutors, we rent time on our 3D printers, charge a processing for fee for labor, and request reimbursement for the PLA printing filament, and hardware at cost with taxes paid and USPS shipping fees. The printer time and filament usage are calculated by the free open-source slicing program CURA 5.7. Anyone can download this free program and check our numbers.
We're a three-generation teaching family (89 years and counting), we know as a group you are exceptional dedicated and trustworthy. For teacher using and trained in the Ortin-Gillingham Method we ask for NO deposits or upfront payments. Email us with what you would like to try, and we'll email a quote to you with exactly what your custom 3D printed product will costs you delivered by USPS. Use our product risk free for 14 days, if you're satisfied send us a check or a Walmart money order. If you are not satisfied, please send an email and let us know what we can do to improve our design. Then please pass our OG Teaching Aid along to another OG method teacher and have them send us an email letting us know what they think of the produce and if they can use it; neither of you will then owe us nothing. As you can imagine this is a limited time offer, we need cash flow to maintain our printer and pay for supplies.
