Simes Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Has anyone been asked to engrave Braille??? No idea if we can do that or not. I have a U-marq Universal 350 and very new to the world of engraving so be gentle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenB Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 There is a Braille font in the vistool software, however how much use it is for blind people to use is open to debate. I have seen machines that insert little pins that stand proud of the surface of the material to work as 'proper' Braille signage. Couldn't tell you what the machines are though, I'm afraid.

kev Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 They be ours Steven. You are allowed to say the name, it's not a dirty word to you Vistools y'know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the replies. There are various directives for new builds and the like that require Braille signs I believe. I have an order from a council sponsored project. I think I've sourced someone who has a kit for doing the raised beads/pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hi, I added the braille to the signs you sent us and despatched them this afternoon. You should receive them tomorrow with any luck. Any problems, let me know. If anybody else gets asked for braille give me a call or drop me an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
