The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
Conventionally, drawing compasses are used to draw circles. However, it is not desirable that the compass needle perforates the drawing material. To enhance the drawing experience, EXLICON is created for drawing circles, ellipses, pentagram, hexagon as well as geometry with golden ratio. EXLICON can be fixed on the drawing material by a set of reusable nano stickers. It does not contain a needle, thus leaves no marking on the paper.

Moreover, there are not many simple ellipse drawing tools available in the market. Very often, ellipse template drawing tools with preset shapes and dimensions are used to draw an ellipse. Users are limited to the fixed eccentricity and dimensions. EXLICON is designed to allow users to alter the eccentricity as well as the dimensions of the major and minor axis of the ellipse. It is a compact tool which allows users to draw ellipses in seconds. The drawing process is simple and easy.

EXLICON is made up of a base and a set of wings. The wing is attached to the base with a magnet which allows smooth rotation. Unlike conventional compasses or geometric template rulers, EXLICON provides a high level of freedom for users draw their own shapes. It is capable of drawing ellipses of over 100 sizes and circles of over 50 dimensions with golden ratio. The long wing can be used separately as a ruler and the water drop wing can be used for drawing curved lines. EXLICON can also be used as a protractor for drawing shapes with specific angles.

EXLICON is made of either aerospace aluminium or stainless steel. These materials are much stronger and durable. It is manufactured by CNC machining which provides high accuracy and allows error-free drawings. EXLICON is compact in size and is highly portable. Users can easily carry EXLICON around and draw their mind out.
