Bantam Tools Draw is a minimalist iPad drawing app to turns your sketches into Art Machine ready line work. It offers Apple Pencil responsiveness, as well as touch drawing, and SVG export optimized for physical machines to reproduce your art. While most iPad drawing apps focus on blending, shading, and screen-based illustration, often converting strokes into filled shapes, Draw doesn’t. It captures each stroke as a single, clean vector path, exactly what pen plotters need. Whether you're drafting technical diagrams, exploring generative patterns, creating meditative hand-drawn designs, or combining art and engineering with a generation already comfortable drawing on iPads, Draw helps you draw with intention and plot with precision.
