Computer Numerically Controlled Machine to Draw text on Ardunio-based Acrylic Board

Abstract

This paper presents Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machine to draw text on Arduino based acrylic board. The principle working of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a machine that is used for automatic control in the industrial world. It must more accurate, precise, flexible and suitale for production. CNC can reduce operator intervention during its operation. Design of computer numerically controlled machines for drawing text on Arduino-based acrilic boards is a tool used to draw text directly to an acrilic board based on the coordinates obtained from inkscape software. This tool consists of three translating axes, namely the X, Y, and Z axes. Each axis will move according to each coordinate obtained from the inkscape software and then sent to the microcontroller. This tool is only focused to draw the text is expected to not only draw the text, but also can draw another shape.
