This paper presents part of the results of a master's research on elaboration of tactile symbols for indoor map made with 3D printer from the rapid prototyping method. The study area confers to the ground floor of the Glauber Rocha Classroom Hall of the Federal University of Bahia located in the city of Salvador-Brazil. From the method “Think Aloud” the tactile map was evaluate with the participation of eight blind people, it was verified that the map was efficient to communicate spatial information of the study area and that the tactile cartography can evaluate in the development of symbols in maps to aid in indoor mobility, that is, in the choice of routes for movement within the buildings.

Keywords : visual impairment; tactile map; 3D print; indoor mobility; spatial orientation.
