Pantograph
thingiverse
The pantograph, invented by Christopher Scheiner in 1603, initially served as a tool for accurate scaling of diagrams. This manual process is now replaced by modern technology. The pantograph's application has since evolved to aid geometry students in understanding similarity concepts. By tracing shapes through the pantograph, students can create corresponding shapes with congruent angles and proportional sides. It's an engaging way to learn about proportionality and similarity. The design was built using SketchUp, while the nuts and bolts were inspired by a Thingiverse design by naikrovek.
