6 Pen plotting

6.1 Materials

CNC Stylus can be used to draw, write, and plot on many different types of material
including the following:
• Papers
• Cards
• Woods
• Textiles
• Plastics
• Metals

6.2 Preparation

6.2.1 Spoil board

When selecting a suitable spoil board, we need to ensure to use something strong, rigid,
and flat.
We would recommend using a 12mm melamine faced MDF board.

6.2.2 Work-holding

There are several different ways to hold material down to your spoil board. You should
ensure your material is as flat as possible.
We would recommend using a low tack tape along all edges. To find out more about work-
holding, please see Section 8.2 Knowledgebase, page 17.

6.3 Mounting a drawing device

To fit your tool to the CNC Stylus, you will need to ensure you select the correct collet size.
