New Plotter for Computer Generated Drafting

My Project

After much love, devotion, and hours of repair time, our 15-year-old plotter has finally found its end of life and now it's time to invest in a new one. Theatre Production drawings are printed on a large format paper because of the scale of things. We go digital when we can, but carrying devices to some areas where we work is unsafe.

A new plotter will allow the students to print drawings needed to complete the projects they are assigned in the theatre.

Also, they will be able to print their own work as they learn to draft in CAD.
