Piccolo is a pocket sized open source CNC-bot for DIY community. People can make this simple 3 axis robot using laser-cutting, off-the-shelf hardware and Arduino. People can also attach a brush or pen to make a quick drawing robot, or extend Piccolo with sensors, custom toolheads, or by using multiple Piccolos together.
Piccolo allows people to experiment with 2D or 3D digital fabrication at a small scale.
