Hello:
I have been following the developments in Rapid Prototyping and how
they can be used for the education of the blind since 1993.
If a map is line art such as an outline or political map, probably the best
way to produce a copy is to use a braille Embosser that can do graphics. The
Index and Tiger families of embossers can produce tactile line art. Some of
the Enabling embossers can also produce line drawings.
If a map is a topographic map, the higher end RP machines could be used to
produce a copy. There are a wide variety of topographics maps already
available, so a potential user should always try to purchase a ready made
map before having one made.
Regards,
Robert
