Most modern manufacturing is fantastically economic today but is only so 
because of the way they now operate.  Tooling a factory to produce a product 
costs time but also materials and expertise, test runs all of which may tie it 
up for some time or at least take up significant resources within a factory.  
Therefore typically factories are not usually interested in small runs of 
things after which they have to stop, re-tools and re-set even assuming there 
are no problems it is still dead and unproductive time.  Therefore what happens 
at least in terms of hardware is that you have to pay a higher unit price just 
to get it produced or you use greater amounts of human labour where it is 
possible.  Most Braille displays are at least partly hand-made especially where 
it comes to the Braille cells themselves.
