Evil Mad Scientist AxiDraw V3

The Evil Mad Scientist AxiDraw V3 is a precision pen plotter robot that holds any pen or pencil and draws or writes on paper, canvas, and other flat surfaces with 0.002mm positioning resolution — translating digital Inkscape vector files into physical pen drawings indistinguishable from hand-drawn originals. With a 30 × 21 cm drawing area, USB connection, and support for any pen up to 15mm diameter, the AxiDraw V3 is used by generative artists, designers, architects, and businesses producing handwritten-style personalised correspondence at scale. Priced at approximately $475 at evilmadscientist.com.

Scribit Scribit

Scribit is a cable-suspended wall-drawing robot from Italian designer Carlo Ratti that hangs from two anchor points and uses erasable markers to draw images, text, patterns, and artwork on walls, whiteboards, and windows across drawing areas up to 2.5 metres by 3.5 metres. Importing SVG and PNG files and controlled via iOS or Android app over WiFi, Scribit can be repositioned between surfaces and uses erasable ink for temporary displays that can be wiped clean and redrawn. Designed for interior designers, artists, offices, and retailers wanting large-format changeable wall graphics without permanent paint. Priced at approximately $400–$500.
