Use Case

Pen Plotter for Educators & STEAM

Teach G-code, CNC concepts, and digital fabrication with pen plotting. Safe, visual, and engaging—perfect for makerspaces, classrooms, and workshops.

What Students Learn

G-code Fundamentals

Students see exactly how G-code commands translate to physical movement. Pen plotting makes abstract concepts visible.

CNC Concepts

Coordinate systems, toolpaths, feeds and speeds—all demonstrated safely with a pen instead of a cutting tool.

Digital Fabrication

Bridge between digital design and physical output. Students experience the full design-to-fabrication pipeline.

Creative Coding

Generate art programmatically. Combine coding skills with visual output students can take home.

Why Educators Choose Pen Plotting

Safe for All Ages

No hot ends, no sharp tools, no fumes. Pen plotting is safe for K-12 and beyond.

Immediate Visual Feedback

Students see their code become art in real-time. Mistakes are learning opportunities, not disasters.

Uses Existing Equipment

If your makerspace has 3D printers, you already have pen plotters. €29.90 unlocks the capability.

Tangible Takeaways

Students create physical artifacts they can keep. More engaging than screen-only projects.
