Swell Form machines for tactile graphics
Choose the Zychem machine that fits the way you create tactile graphics. The Swell Form machine supports flexible, on-demand work, while the Swell Form Pro machine is designed for higher-volume production. Both use Swell Touch paper to turn printed, copied, or hand-drawn designs into raised graphics.
Which Swell Form machine should you choose?
Swell Form machine: flexible, on-demand production
Create a diagram, map, activity, or quick sketch when you need it. The compact Swell Form machine suits classrooms, workplaces, and homes, including educators, accessibility professionals, friends, and families making tactile graphics in smaller quantities.
Prepare your design on Swell Touch paper, then feed the sheet through the machine. You can work from a printed design or draw directly on the paper.

Swell Form Pro machine: higher-volume production
For publishers, braille production facilities, schools, and organizations producing larger quantities, the Swell Form Pro machine uses conveyor feeding and processes up to 35 pages per minute.
Choose this model when production volume and throughput are central to your work.

What else do you need?
Use Swell Touch paper with either machine. Print or photocopy your design using compatible black ink or toner, or draw directly with Swell Touch markers. Drawing does not require a printer or copier.
Zychem manufactures Swell Touch paper and both machines in-house, maintaining control over their development and production.
