2.4: Now select the “moon” portion of the artwork and vector cut from 1/16 inch Rowmark material.

Close-up of the vector-cut moon and lettering.

2.5: Now we will vector cut an acrylic backing for the sign which will serve to hold the Braille Raster beads in place. Remove the protective paper from one side of a 1/8” sheet of acrylic and apply a sheet of double-sided adhesive transfer tape. Roll or squeegee the tape to remove any air bubbles.

Select the outline of the sign.

Vector cut as shown. All the sign parts are now cut and ready for final assembly.

2.6: Put the acrylic backing aside for the moment and locate front of the sign (made of Rowmark ADA plastic). Raise the sign about 1/8 inch above the work surface and, using the Raster Braille pen, insert the Raster beads into each vector-cut hole on the back side of the sign. Don’t worry, the beads won’t fall out once inserted.

In this illustration you can see how the angle cut keeps the Raster beads in place.
