(Reuters) Two teachers from Indiana created a 3D print out of a young girl’s face for her blind deaf mother, a video posted to a social media website showed.

In the video Ron Shaffer and Cory Howard, two high school teachers, were seen taking photographs of Denise Altheide in order to efficiently model the 3D print out.

More footage showed Denise’s mother, Faith Altheide, delighted to receive her gift and hugging her daughter.

Howards said their next project will focus on new-borns and blind parents, as well as new-borns whose fathers are abroad and can’t see their child.
