Basic shapes with great ease and high accuracy for art and science
Shapes such as rectangle hooks, equilateral triangles, squares, ellipses, spur wheels or regular polygons in various sizes appear on the TactiPad as with magic by using one of the 25 dedicated TactiForma tools. The set enables an inexperienced user to create these often used shapes without the need for measuring and positioning. A more experienced user will discover they are a great help to draw these shapes in a fast and accurate manner. Combining the use of different tools will bring even more fascinating drawing results. Expanding a 2D shape into a 3D figure has never been so intuitive either.
TactiForma description and applications
- 7 squares from 2 to 8 centimetres
- 7 triangles from 3 to 9 centimetres
- 1 rectangular L-shape hook 10*10 centimetres
- 4 polygon tools from 5, 6, 7 and 8 sides plus magnetic foot
- 2 spur wheels with 12 and 20 teeth
- 4 ellipses. 5*3, 6*4, 7*5, 8*6
General specifications
- The dimensions and the layout will help you identify the dimensions of the tools and the alignment to other already created shapes.
- You can hold the tools either in your left or right hand.
- Large indents for picking up the tool, referred to as ‘finger fitters’
- Small indents (1.5 mm) for measurement, alignment and rotation purposes.
- Pushpin markers to fixate the tool on the TactiPad.
- Extra length to compensate for the ‘drawing loss’. The shapes are a little larger to make sure that when drawing following the inner contour, the raised line has the correct length.
