BrailleRAP

Based on the RepRap 3d printer controller, BrailleRAP is an open hardware device to emboss Braille text and/or Vector graphics. You can use software like AccessBrailleRAP or DesktopBrailleRAP to build tangible documents with the device.

BrailleRAP now exist in 2 different sizes: BrailleRAP and BrailleRAP XL.

  • BrailleRAP emboss sheet up to 210x297 mm. Lightweight, a completed device will weight less than 5 kg and fit in cabin travel case. So it's easy to travel with.
  • BrailleRAP XL emboss sheet up to 297x420 mm. A larger surface if you need to emboss vector graphics. But also heavyer, around 7.5 kg and not as easy to travel with than the standard model.
