Plus any CO2 laser running a Ruida controller, including Cloudray, Rabbit Laser USA, G.Weike, Blue Elephant, Morn Laser, StyleCNC, Sign-in-China, and more.
Coming soon
Raised copy and real Braille,
on the laser you already own
Your laser has spent its life removing material. The Quill Gel-Jet mounts directly to your laser head and finally puts something back, printing raised, ADA-compliant Braille onto the sign surface.
Fast
Mounts on your laser head in minutes. No second machine, no extra floor space.
Simple
Cut, then print, with one machine. Same setup your operators already run.
Quality
Domed, durable resin dots that meet ADA and ANSI A117.1 raster Braille specs.

Stop handing your Braille margin to a subcontractor
Every ADA sign you outsource gives away 30 to 50 percent of the job. Bring Braille in-house and that margin stays with you.
-
About $80 more margin per sign
Captured on work you already quote, instead of sending it out.
-
Pays for itself in about 69 signs
Roughly 1 to 3 months for an active shop. After that, pure upside.
-
Recurring, legally mandated demand
ADA Braille signage is required by law, so the work keeps coming back.

More margin per sign
Signs to full payback
Margin lost to outsourcing

Real Braille, proven and protected.
For the first time, a laser can produce compliant, raised Braille, without the workarounds shops have relied on for years.
-
Protected by three patents, with a fourth pending
The product of years of development, our UV-resin Braille process is protected by an active and growing patent portfolio.
-
ADA and ANSI A117.1 compliant
Domed, Grade 2 dots measuring 0.059 to 0.063 inch across and raised 0.025 to 0.037 inch, to specification on every sign.
-
The world's first practical Braille solution for CO2 lasers
A laser can only remove material, so raised dots were physically out of reach, until the Gel-Jet's additive process changed that.

Frequently asked
How can a laser make raised Braille if lasers only cut?
It cannot on its own. A laser is subtractive, it removes material. The Gel-Jet adds an additive resin print head, so your laser cuts the sign and then prints raised, domed Braille dots on top.
Which lasers is it compatible with?
Laguna and virtually any Ruida-controlled CO2 laser today, including Thunder, Boss, OMTech, Cloudray, Rabbit, G.Weike and more. If your machine runs a Ruida controller or LightBurn, it is compatible. Use the checker above to confirm.
Is the Braille actually ADA compliant?
Yes. It produces domed Grade 2 Braille at 0.059 to 0.063 inch dot diameter, raised 0.025 to 0.037 inch, meeting ADA and ANSI A117.1 requirements.
Is this the same as raster Braille beads?
No. Raster Braille means hand-setting individual beads into drilled holes, which is slow, acrylic-only and error-prone. The Gel-Jet prints the Braille directly, no hand insertion.
How hard is it to learn?
Most operators learn it in minutes. It runs from the same setup your team already uses, so there is no new machine or workflow to master.
My laser is not on the list. Can I still get it?
Select your brand in the checker to join the waitlist. We are actively building mounts for more lasers and will email you the moment yours is supported.

"There's Got To Be A Better Way..."
That was the question that sparked the 5 year journey to today and the launch of our first product, the Quill for Engravers. Stay tuned as we've got some even bigger breakthroughs coming soon.
📷 Images: Quill Prototypes from 2017-2021
Designed and Built in the US
It all started after a long-time employee suddenly left, I was faced with the challenge of training a new person on the art of ADA machine engraving. However, even with my extensive background in CNC operation, I found the operations of cutting tactile letters and inserting Braille rasters to be daunting and complex. That's when I decided to embark on a journey to create a new solution.
My goal was to design and build a prototype that met the following criteria:
- Easy to learn and operate
- Fast production, at least 10x times faster than current options
- Affordable, with a price point significantly lower than other machines on the market
Through my efforts, I was able to turn my vision into a reality with the Quill ADA machine. It simplifies the process of creating Braille ADA signs, making it easier and more efficient for businesses to deliver on a more accessible world for the vision impaired.
