The GTCO 12" x 12" Drawing Board is a professional digitising tablet designed for accurately capturing hand-drawn designs, templates, sketches and technical drawings and transferring them directly to a computer.
With a generous 12" x 12" (305 x 305 mm) active drawing area, the GTCO DrawingBoard provides an ideal solution for anyone looking to digitise existing drawings and templates without having to redraw them from scratch.
For CNC plasma cutting, fabrication and engineering applications, it can provide a practical way of transferring physical designs into a digital workflow, helping save time and reduce the need for manual CAD drawing.
If you have an existing drawing, pattern or template that you want to reproduce digitally, the GTCO Drawing Board provides a simple and accurate method of capturing it.
It is particularly useful for:
The 12" x 12" active area gives you plenty of space to work while keeping the tablet compact enough for a workshop, office or design workstation.
The GTCO DrawingBoard VI DB6-1212 features an active area of 12 x 12 inches (305 x 305 mm) and offers accuracy of up to ±0.010" (±0.254 mm). It uses electromagnetic digitising technology with resolution of up to 12,700 lines per inch (500 lines per mm).
This makes it suitable for applications where accurate capture of a physical drawing or template is important.
The DrawingBoard can connect to a PC via USB, with no separate power supply required for USB operation. It also supports RS-232 serial connectivity when used with the appropriate power supply.
The system supports a range of operating modes, including point, line, run, track, incremental and prompt modes, providing flexibility for different digitising applications.
The DB6-1212 has a 12" x 12" active drawing area, while the overall unit measures approximately 371 mm wide x 404 mm deep and weighs approximately 1.9 kg.
This compact format makes it particularly useful where workspace is limited while still providing a substantial working area for drawings and templates.
The GTCO DrawingBoard VI package can include:
Pointing-device options include corded or cordless cursors and click-tip pens, depending on the configuration supplied.
Whether you're working with old workshop drawings, hand-made templates or designs that were never created in CAD, the GTCO 12" x 12" Drawing Board provides a professional way to bring physical designs into a digital workflow.
For CNC plasma users, it can be particularly useful when combined with suitable CAD or digitising software to create digital geometry ready for further editing and CNC preparation.
