The AxiDraw MiniKit Personal Writing & Drawing Robot is a special compact addition to the AxiDraw lineup. Designed for lighter-duty applications, It takes up less desk space and less storage space. It's considerably more portable, too.

The AxiDraw MiniKit is also the first DIY kit model of AxiDraw that you get to assemble yourself. The AxiDraw MiniKit has a working area of about 6 x 4 inches (150 x 100 mm): Big enough to be useful for a wide range of applications including short notes, postcards, and addressing envelopes. It's also ideally suited for use as a signature machine, for signing checks, letters, books, or artwork.

The AxiDraw is an extremely versatile machine, designed to serve a wide variety of everyday and specialized drawing and writing needs. You can use it for almost any task that might normally be carried out with a handheld pen.

It allows you to use your computer to produce writing that appears to be handmade, complete with the unmistakable appearance of using a real pen (as opposed to an inkjet or laser printer) to address an envelope or sign one's name. And it does so with precision approaching that of a skilled artist, and - just as importantly - using an arm that never gets tired.

The AxiDraw comes with a small mounting easel (board with clips) that can hold note cards, envelopes, gift tags and other papers. You can also set the AxiDraw directly on top of drawing surfaces like boxes, notebooks, and larger papers to add graphics in place.

Your paper size is not limited to the working area of the machine; the unique design of the AxiDraw features a drawing head that extends beyond the body of the machine which allows for drawing on whatever object is positioned in front of it.
