Hi Dark, 3D printers are coming way down in price now and they print from a plastic material. So the dice you would get are solid 3D plastic (or some polymer) objects just like normal dice.
So you can print Braille right on the dice in the same material… HTH Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Apr 21, 2013, at 9:00 AM, dark <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Eleanor. i've not actually heard of 3D printing as applied to braille, if however it resolved in paper dice there might be a problem since obviously they are dice and do need to roll, though i suppose if you could print the numbers and then put them on a plastic or similar frame that would work. The main problem however is that braille printers are damnably expensive, even standard ones.
