Every existing printer is limited by the size of its gantry system. The bigger format you want to print the bigger the printer has to be. Thinking of fishing reels, we imagined a printing system with a printer head connected to motorized spool of wires. By using 4 motors linked to the printer head through nylon wire, we can control the printer head and print on a horizontal or vertical support from 1ft by 1ft to 10ft by 10ft and more. This system is very compact, since the wires can be spooled in. Thus, the footprint of the machine is only the combined size of the 4 motors and the printer head.
