Hello everyone,
The spirograph is a machine that allows you to draw geometrical figures. As some of you, I wanted to create my own version. However, I wanted to offer more than only a machine. With this, a drawing configurator in excel is available. It is thus possible to choose which figure you want to draw and then configure the spirograph machine.
The spirograph allows to generate more than a thousand different geometrical drawings. Different configurations include :
- 1 switch (left or right position) for 2 modes
- A 5-speed gearbox for the rotation of the plate
- The change of plate rotation
- A 6-speed gearbox arm rotation speed
- 6 fixing positions on each arm
- 66 intersection combinations between 2 arms
- 15 different marker positions.
With the Spirograph Drawer, just modify the parameters (Position, Gear, Angle and/or Switch) to obtain a new figure. As soon as your choice is made, set the parameters of the spirograph machine. Furthermore, know the progress of your drawing with the counter. You can stop the spirograph on time when it’s finished.

This spirograph is also designed to teach the 5 steps of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies).
And finally inside the spirograph
