Tactile representation

Relief graphics and tactile templates give blind and visually impaired people direct access to information. Devices such as Thermo Braille printers, swell copiers and vacuum deformation machines transfer texts, images and maps to special material and create permanently noticeable structures.

The applications range from learning and teaching materials to orientation aids in everyday life. These solutions are therefore suitable for schools, educational institutions, workshops and all organizations that want to make content accessible. All devices are easy to use and provide consistent results.
