A flatbed plotter is a type of computer-controlled drawing machine that uses a pen to create precise, detailed drawings and designs on a flat surface, such as paper or canvas.
The Pen P is a component of the flatbed plotter that holds and controls the movement of the pen. It is responsible for creating the lines and curves that make up the final drawing.
The flatbed plotter traces a curve by using a combination of precise movements and rotations of the Pen P. The computer controls these movements based on the specified path coordinates, resulting in a smooth and accurate curve.
Path coordinates refer to the specific x and y coordinates on the flatbed where the Pen P will move to create a line or curve. These coordinates are programmed into the computer and dictate the path that the pen will follow.
No, a flatbed plotter is capable of tracing both curves and straight lines. By controlling the movement and rotation of the Pen P, a flatbed plotter can create a wide range of intricate and precise designs.
