The area of computer numerical control (CNC) machines has grown fast, and their use has risen significantly in recent years. This article presents the design and development of a CNC writing machine that uses an Arduino, a motor driver, a stepper motor, and a servo motor. The machine is meant to create 2D designs and write in numerous input languages using 3-axis simultaneous interpolated operations. The suggested machine is low-cost, simple to build, and can be operated with merely G codes. The performance of the CNC writing machine was assessed by testing it on a range of solid surfaces, including paper, cardboard, and wood. The results reveal that the machine can generate high-quality text and images with great accuracy and consistency. The proposed machine's ability to write in several input languages makes it appropriate for various applications, including art, design, and engineering.
