Researchers have developed an automatic drawing machine that uses pens and pencils to draw metamaterials -- artificially engineered composite materials that derive their properties from patterned ...

Not all of us have CNC machines, laser cutters and 3D printers, and I’ll bet most of us didn’t start out that well equipped. The low-cost drawing machine that [jegatheesan] made for his daughter ...

Pop-up book maker and paper engineer Robert Sabuda has teamed up with the Leonardo da Vinci Robot Society to create a build-it-yourself drawing machine that's based on a rumor, that da Vinci's ...

Condition Lab has created a series of machines powered by the movement of the wind to capture fleeting moments of time on paper. The project calls into question the process of drawing and memory, ...

Stepper motors are great for projects that require accurate control of motion. 3D printers, CNC machines and plotters are often built using these useful devices. [InventorArtist] built a stepper-based ...

Today’s architects are living in interesting times. Long gone are the days when we had to be experts in drafting by hand; computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling tools can generate ...
