You do realize that Stereolithography has absolutely nothing to do with a
fax machine? It was just a poor analogy.
I've had some rapid prototyping done in the past using stereolithography.
It is a great method for producing models. It could, in fact, put braille
dots on a model if you wanted them. However, it would not be a very
useful device for actually producing braille. Unless you wanted rigid
pieces of plastic with braille dots on them.
Never-the-less, I'll conceed the patent to you. (grin).
