CNC Controlled Plotter For Automated Sketching
Abstract
The CNC Controlled Plotter for Automated Sketching is a computer-controlled drawing machine intended to produce accurate sketches, text, and patterns automatically.The primary aim of this project is to design and develop an efficient and low-cost CNC system for educational and small-scale design applications.The proposed system employs an Arduino microcontroller to control the stepper motors that move the plotting device along the X and Y axes.A servo motor is employed to lift and position the pen on the drawing surface.The designs are first translated into G-code using compatible software, and the controller decodes these instructions to generate accurate movements.This project clearly illustrates the application of computer numerical control technology in a simple and easy-to-understand way.It enables students to comprehend the functioning of automation, motion control, and embedded systems concepts, in addition to providing a practical tool for precise sketching operations.
