This design adds mass exactly where you want it: to the non-moving base that forms the X-axis of the machine. 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. 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. The AxiDraw SE/A3 has the same extended plotting area as the AxiDraw V3/A3.
