BrailleRap-SP Project History

The beginning

Formarly in 2016 MyHumanKit organize an Hackaton called Fabrikarium with Airbus industries. During the Fabrikarium some test where made to hack a 3d printer to embosse braille on 160g paper sheet, the project was called BrailleRap.

We thougt on the BrailleRap-SP team that it was a proof a concept and that we need some custom hardware to emboss braille easyly than with hacked 3D printer

OpenBraille

In 2017 Carlos Campos start the project OpenBraille and build a braille embosser base on recycled printers parts, the project demonstrate that we can move the paper sheet in the machine. http://www.instructables.com/id/OpenBraille-a-DIY-Braille-Embosser/
