Abstract: A CNC plotting machine is a computer-controlled device that automates the process of creating precise drawings or designs on various surfaces. Utilizing a cutting tool or pen, it interprets digital files, translating them into physical representations with high accuracy. This device capable of producing or constructing mechanical components in accordance with design software. The use of CNC machines is increasing quickly as technology in industries advances the purpose of this study is to create a plotter machine that can design and manufacture 2D designs using Arduino and the CNC shield and also to minimize the time spent plotting and to eliminate human participation, which reduces the rate of inaccuracy and boosts output. In this article Arduino uno, stepper motor, servo motor and CNC shield are used for designing three axis CNC Plotter. The designed machine is controlled by three axis, stepper motors are used to control x and y axes while the z- axis is controlled by servo motor. The major goal of this project is to minimize the time spent graphing and to eliminate human participation, which reduces the rate of inaccuracy and increases manufacturing. And this machine can facilitate disable peoples work especially people that suffer from hand less and also can help Architect to draw the 2d drawing. The designed machine can plot any image or text simply and quickly as compared to human sketching time. CNC technology has made significant contributions to industry.
