Abstract	In recent decades, the application and adaptation of new technologies have gradually become invaluable in education. When the students are visually impaired, the use of these technologies becomes even more valuable. In this line, a theoretical-practical workshop on human evolution was carried out with 25 students from the Spanish National Organisation for the Blind. Twenty-two realistic replicas of skulls of the main species in human evolution were reproduced with a 3D-FDM printer. Thus, the students were able to learn about the variability of cranial anatomy between species as we could verify with a test to evaluate the usefulness of the technology as a complement to the theoretical explanation. The results were analysed taking into account the sex and age of the students, their educational level, their degree of blindness and previous knowledge of the subject. It showed that the use of 3D models is an excellent support to the teaching-learning process in the case of the visually impaired, since it allows them to form in their imagination a faithful image of the object they hold in their hands, to feel the similarities and morphological differences between the species and to formulate hypotheses about the reasons for them.
