A virtual pen plotter

Article excerpt

Frank Force (KilledByAPixel on GitHub) has created a 3D pen-plotter simulator in the browser. Drop in an SVG and watch a little AxiDraw-style machine draw it on virtual paper. The arm sliding, pen lifting, stepper motors whirring. It doesn’t make anything real but it’s nice to watch. Speed, 1× (real time) up to 1000× for the impatient Drag any SVG file onto the page and it loads onto the plotter. Check it out on GitHub.
