The quasi standard is STL. And yes, this is device independent and can
be used by various CAD programs.
No, I don't ;) Because my output devices are going to use bitmaps as input.

I want to take a different approach. No 3D-Printer. At least not at the
moment. :)
If I come to the point where my first approach is going to fail... than
maybe a 3D-Printer could make a good alternative.

I want to build a device which is capable of embossing paper. Like those
Braille-Printers but not limited to emboss those 6 (or 8) dots.

As soon as I got this device working I would like to do some
"feeling-tests" (don't know a more suitable word). Of course I have
fingers too, but I'm also sighted and not used to "read" with my
fingers. I need some people to which I can send some test sheets.
Testers who like to contribute - just tell me. :)

Regards
Daniel
