[Athen] Raised line drawing vendors

[Stager, Catherine]

Hi Lorraine,
I have never outsourced but here are some of my tactile graphics references...

I have some basic references for you.... https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/10/dot-pad-tactile-display-makes-images-touchable-for-visually-impaired-users/
This is a dot pad that displays in real time. It's pretty amazing.

General info on Tactile Graphics... from our colleague Lucia Hasty http://www.tactilegraphics.org/ .

The Diagram Center from Benetech has some great resources -  http://diagramcenter.org/3d-printing.html

Here are some other resources:

One of my former students had a preference for immediate feedback via touchable graphics... we would create
"on the fly" tactile graphics by printing an image that had been flipped over in a graphics program, then we would trace the key aspects so that the tracing indented the page. She would flip the image over then she could "read" it via the raised lines on the other side.  She created her own hard rubber mat attached to a clipboard to help create these simple line drawings.

Dear All,

Happy Friday.

I am looking for names of different vendors who could do raised line drawings for a Behavioral Neuroscience class and the book they are using is  Behavioral Neuroscience, 9e by S. Marc Breedlove and Neil V. Watson; ISBN: 9781605359076.

Any ideas thoughts and insight would be greatly appreciate.

Best,

Lorraine
