A Review on Design and Implementation of Automatic Writing and Drawing Machine Using CNC Technology

  • Unique Paper ID: 189951
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 8
  • PageNo: 4575-4577
  • Abstract:
  • In the modern domain of digital manufacturing, the translation of digital designs into physical artifacts often presents a financial barrier. Commercial Computer Numerical Control (CNC) plotters are typically expensive and rely on proprietary software, making them inaccessible for educational and small-scale prototyping purposes. To address this, this paper presents the comprehensive design and implementation of a low-cost, 2-axis "Automatic Writing & Drawing Machine". The proposed system utilizes an open-source Arduino Uno microcontroller, a CNC Shield V3, and the GRBL firmware to achieve high-precision plotting of vector graphics and text. By leveraging readily available components such as NEMA 17 stepper motors and 3D-printed modular parts, the system provides a reliable and educational platform for robotics and automation. The experimental results demonstrate that the machine successfully bridges the gap between digital design and physical creation with high repeatability and sub-millimeter accuracy.
