[BlindMath] Accessible 3D printing

[rjaquiss]

Hello Haden:

     The only 3d package that a blind person can use is OpenScad. The site
is: http://openscad.org/
OpenScad is a cross between, programming, set theory and geometry. A blind
user has to write the code and then compile it from the command line
interface. A sighted person is required to view the design. 3d printers have
software that can import the .stl files generated by OpenScad and prepare
them for transmission to a 3d printer. A sighted person is likely to be
needed to position the image on a grid that represents the printer bed. Hope
this helps.

Regards,

Robert

Subject: [BlindMath] Accessible 3D printing

This topic comes up every so often, but I can't recall what, if 
anything, was suggested. Nor can I find a resource for accessible 3D 
printing, thus this message. Does such a resource exist? If not, and 
assuming accessible 3D printing is both possible and the necessary 
materials are available, I intend to create this resource. I am not 
asking for a repository of existing models to download and print, but 
rather how to create these models myself,.
