For machine design week, QBIC Fab Lab students decided to design and fabricate pen plotter. Although the idea seems very simple and easy to fabricate, but the main purpose behind designing and fabricating a CNC plotter in general is to test the different technologies in digital fabrication, and to master different techniques in mechanical design, electronics production, and programming in general.
