Abstract

This project involves the development of a compact, affordable CNC X-Y plotter capable of handling paper sizes from A1 to A10. Designed for applications like PCB layout, architectural drawings, mandala art, and laser engraving, the machine features an H-frame structure with a belt drive mechanism for high speed and precision. It uses NEMA 17 stepper motors, an Arduino Uno with a CNC Shield V3, and operates through G-code generated in Inkscape 2024. The tool head supports interchangeable modules (pen, marker, laser) and is mounted on a T-slot aluminum frame for durability and ease of assembly. Testing confirmed smooth, accurate, and repeatable output, making it ideal for students, makers, and small-scale users
