Basic shapes with great ease and high accuracy for art and science
The 25 TactiForma tools to draw basic shapes bring a fast and accurate drawing experience.
- 7 Squares from 2 to 8 centimetres
- 7 Triangles from 3 to 9 centimetres
- 1 Rectangle L-shape hook 10*10 centimetres
- 4 Regular polygon tools of 5, 6, 7 and 8 sides plus magnetic foot
- 2 Spur wheels with 12 and 20 teeth
- 4 Ellipses of 5*3 , 6*4, 7*5, 8*6 centimetres
A square as an example
Creating a square is not that easy at all!. Of course one has to understand the concept of four sides of equal lengths and four angles of 90 degrees. But to put the lines in their correct positions, making sure they have the same length and the corners are 90 degrees and using the ruler and measuring the angles with a protractor is a tedious process. Once this is understood and has been done a few times, this is not very rewarding anymore. Having a tool to create a square in the desired size makes drawing much more efficient. The same counts for shapes like various types of triangles, ellipses, regular polygons and spur wheels.
The real win; more than basic shapes
The win of the TactiForma tools is already in your hands by creating a single basic shape with ease. However, the real advantage shows when applying the combination of the various tools with their built-in ‘mathematical’ features for your drawing. Whether it is for artistic or for more technical oriented subjects. By using pushpins for alignment or as referential markings, the accuracy of the drawing will be even better procured.
Product characteristics
- The tools have such dimensions so they can be manipulated by children’s hands.
- The tools are suitable for left or right hand usage.
- Per tool there is enough variation in size to make them useful.
- Where possible the tools have the inline shape for easy drawing.
- The tools have anti-slip material at the bottom.
- Pushpin markers are present to fixate the tool on the TactiPad drawing board.
- The positioning/ alignment of the tool in the drawing or with another tool has natural measurement units in centimetres even when rotating the tool.
- It is easy to place and hold the tool on the TactiPad drawing board with finger fitters.
- It is easy to recognise a particular tool.
- Measurement indications and indents help to measure distance and size.
- The tools compensate for the ‘drawing loss’. The inner space of the tools is a little wider to make sure when drawing along the inner contour, the raised lines of the shape have the exact dimensions.
The TactiForma tool descriptions and manual sections really deserve your attention because this will increase the level of finesse in your output.
