A pantograph is a mechanical drafting tool used for copying and scaling drawings at different sizes. It operates on the principle of parallel motion, allowing the user to trace an original drawing at one scale while simultaneously reproducing it at a different scale. Pantographs are commonly used in drafting, technical drawing, and reproduction processes where accurate scaling of drawings is required.
Here's how a pantograph typically works:
Pantographs have been used for centuries to reproduce drawings, maps, and other documents accurately. While they were traditionally manual tools operated by hand, modern pantographs may incorporate motorized components or digital controls for increased accuracy and efficiency. Despite advancements in digital reproduction technology, pantographs remain valuable tools for artists, architects, engineers, and historians who require precise scaling and reproduction of drawings.
