3D Printer for Braille?

[Matt Trudeau]

Morning,

Was just looking at Braille machines and had a thought, wondering if a 3D printer would work for this. I don't do enough braille to justify spending 5k on a braille machine, but I have always wanted a 3D printer.

Has anyone tried this?

Possibly, but braille is only 1 part of the sign and 3D printing is super slow in comparison to other options in a production environment.

Braille signs have to be ADA compliant, and the "tactile" pieces of the ADA sign are meant to be touched repeatedly by those needing the braiile, so the braille should be done with a certain material (beads) that are made to be touched repetitively and not be rough on the (sensitive) fingers. So, a 3d printer is not a good option.
