This paper discusses a new processing technology for acrylic sheets using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Acrylic are widely used due to their transparency and weather resistance, but current processing methods cannot create embossing features without reductive manufacturing methods. HIFU emits ultrasonic waves that melt the surface of the acrylic sheet, creating bumps that can be controlled by adjusting the irradiation time, speed, distance, and amplitude. This technology can control transparency, line thickness, and tactility and can create bumps and depressions instantaneously, making it potentially useful for embossing, etching, and braille generation. The paper demonstrates the controllable variables of the HIFU approach and highlights its potential for industry as a high-precision acrylic plate processing technology.

In this case study, we explore the possibilities between Generative AI and tactile graphics for inclusivity in computer graphics communities. The use of Generative AI in the design of tactile graphics has made it possible to support the processes used by publishers and tactile graphics designers. In addition, the idea of printing tactile graphics on transparent sheets with a 3D printer through digital fabrication technology allows the creation of inclusive tactile picture books that can be read and enjoyed together by sighted and visually impaired people in a single picture book.
