This week Eyes on Success hosts Pete and Nancy Torpey explore how 3-D printing is enhancing education for those with vision loss.

3-D printers are capable of making tactile representations of figures, diagrams, and other pictorials that occur in textbooks and other educational materials.  Hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey speak with Anh Bui and Lisa Wadors Verne of Benetech about their work to develop the infrastructure to support the use of this technology and how it might work in practice.
