Pidone is an artist particularly interested in Moire patterns, making the <a href="https://axidraw.com">AxiDraw</a> a tool well suited to him. You can find him on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vincentpidone/">instagram</a>, and he has a show opening this week. </p> <blockquote><p>I have a show of my recent artwork opening August 17th in Hudson, New York. The show will be up through October. All of the work consists of Moire drawings, some hand drawn, but most of them were done with my Axidraw.

In the piece above, Vincent took artwork from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebuildingisacamera/">Justin Lincoln</a> and added colors and layers with the AxiDraw to make it into something new.

Like the Inkscape-based software, its primary function is to plot SVG files. However, it is a stand-alone utility that can be driven from within shell scripts and other environments that make use of shell commands.</p> <p>Once installed, plotting a file can be as simple as executing the following command:</p> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>axicli filename.svg</code></pre> <p>There are, of course, a breadth of different modes and configuration parameters available. We have written detailed descriptions of each of these options in our <a href="https://axidraw.com/doc/cli_api/">comprehensive API documentation</a>. The CLI also supports the use of configuration files to quickly switch between different sets of parameters.</p> <p>Since most common scripting and programming environments allow one to call shell commands like this, that allows the AxiDraw to be used directly within a wide variety of frameworks.</p> <p> </p> <h4>The Python API</h4> <p>The second new tool is the AxiDraw <a href="https://axidraw.com/doc/py_api/">Python API</a>. The AxiDraw CLI is written within Python, and we have both exposed and expanded upon that nucleus to create a flexible and powerful Python module, complete with its <a href="https://axidraw.com/doc/py_api/">own comprehensive documentation</a>.</p> <p>Just like the CLI, the Python API can <a href="https://axidraw.com/doc/py_api/#quick-start-plotting-svg">plot SVG documents</a>; it can both read SVG files and accept strings containing SVG data.</p> <p>It also has features that are not available within Inkscape or the CLI: It supports direct <a href="https://axidraw.com/doc/py_api/#quick-start-interactive-xy">interactive XY control</a>. You can use absolute or relative moveto/lineto type commands to control the AxiDraw from within your own programs. This is particularly useful for a wide variety of potential AxiDraw applications that are <em>not</em> writing or drawing, but otherwise making use of the AxiDraw as a low-cost motion control platform.</p> </div>  <div class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <span class="categories-links"><a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/emsl-projects/axidraw/" rel="category tag">AxiDraw</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/engineering/cnc/" rel="category tag">CNC</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/emsl-projects/" rel="category tag">EMSL Projects</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/software/" rel="category tag">Software</a></span> and tagged <span class="tags-links"><a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/axidraw/" rel="tag">AxiDraw</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/open-source/" rel="tag">open source</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/open-source-software/" rel="tag">Open Source Software</a></span>.

This new model joins our existing models including the <a href="https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/890">AxiDraw V3</a> and <a href="https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/890">AxiDraw V3/A3</a>. </p> <p>Like the AxiDraw V3/A3, the AxiDraw SE/A3 has an XY travel suitable for use paper up to 11×17″/A3 size. However, 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.</p> <p>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 that we use on the AxiDraw V3/A3.</p> <p>We made a video showing off the SE/A3, and how it’s made:</p> <p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/290059149" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>The AxiDraw SE/A3 is available to order now at the <a href="https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/908">Evil Mad Scientist shop</a>.</p> </div>  <div class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <span class="categories-links"><a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/engineering/cnc/" rel="category tag">CNC</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/engineering/" rel="category tag">Engineering</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/ems-shop/" rel="category tag">Evil Mad Scientist Shop</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/category/engineering/robotics/" rel="category tag">Robotics</a></span> and tagged <span class="tags-links"><a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/axidraw/" rel="tag">AxiDraw</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/cnc-2/" rel="tag">cnc</a>, <a href="https://www.evilmadscientist.com/tag/plotter/" rel="tag">plotter</a></span>.
