AxiDraw SE/A3 special edition with a central beam Modern, precise, and versatile pen plotter featuring an extended plot area Designed for use with paper sizes up to and including 11×17 inches and A3 Comes standard with black anodized AxiDraw Outrigger Feet, the Italic pen adapter, and the XL pen clip Can write with your favorite fountain pens, permanent markers, and other writing implements The AxiDraw SE/A3 Personal Writing & Drawing Robot is a simple, modern, precise, and versatile pen plotter. It has the same extended plotting area as the AxiDraw V3/A3. In place of the central extrusion that makes up the body of that machine, the AxiDraw SE/A3 has a central beam that is CNC machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, and then anodized to a sleek black finish. This heavy, rigid structure — it's a solid block of metal! — provides dramatically better straightness and stiffness, even compared to the already-stiff AxiDraw V3/A3. This design adds mass exactly where you want it: to the non-moving base that forms the X-axis of the machine. In order to keep the weight light where it matters, the moving Y-axis of the AxiDraw SE/A3 uses the same stiff and light custom aluminum extrusion found on the AxiDraw V3/A3. Beyond this, the central beam and X-axis of the AxiDraw SE/A3 feature an all-new geometry for the rolling wheels, which provides more stable and uniform motion along the axis. Common uses are: As a signature machine for checks, diplomas, headshots, etc As a "handwriting" machine for various purposes Digital artists, using AxiDraw to plot their artwork As a versatile fabrication tool
