You Are Not Just Buying The Arm
You Buy The Complete System: Robot, Software and AI
You are not buying a robot on its own: you are buying the four pieces already wired together. The arm is included and the software has no fee, so $3,500 leaves you ready for your first event.
-
The Arm
The robot that draws in front of the guest. It is the only piece you set up at the event: the portal and the AI are ready before the first guest arrives.
-
The Portal
Your control desk: it opens in any browser and runs the event, the queue and the styles. Only PictiaX® Bridge is installed, on the PC that drives the arm.
-
The Brain
It decides what gets drawn. It reads the photo the guest uploads from their own phone and turns the face into strokes, keeping the likeness in any style.
-
The Portrait
On paper, in the guest's hand, in about 60 seconds. And digitally: they always take both versions away, ready to share.
- Software forever, no fee and no renewal
- 500 portraits included, and from $0.12 after that
- PictiaX® Academy: ten lessons to start with no doubts

Add To Your Order
The consumables and the parts you can add to the order. Paper and pens are the only things that get used up.
Paper Pack
Paper in the weight the line needs, in the format of both bases.
Ask For A Price
Spare Base
Both bases come with the order. This one is for a second arm or as a spare.
Ask For A PriceTwo Formats One Single Mount
Both bases come with the order and swap over on the same mount in seconds. They hold the paper: the sizes your guest can choose from are set separately, and they're right below.
4 × 6"
Portrait format. It's the one person portrait and the quickest to draw.
6 × 8"
Landscape format. It fits a portrait of two people and has more drawing area.
Seven Paper Sizes, And The Guest Picks
They're ready and waiting in the portal. You check the ones you want at that event and the guest chooses from those: the job reaches the arm already set up for that size, without anyone touching a thing.

The drawing area is smaller than the paper because a margin is left at the bottom, and that margin changes with the size: it's where the logo or the campaign text goes.

What Do You Pay After Buying?
Only the PICTICOINS. There's no subscription, no cloud fee and no separate support plan. If you don't work one month, that month you pay nothing.
from $0.12
per portrait
One PICTICOIN is one portrait, and the price drops with volume. The first 500 come included with the system.
Top up whenever you like and the balance never expires. If you don't work one month, that month you pay nothing. We quote you your own price based on your volume.
Premium 3 Year Warranty
Three years covering your kit, wherever it is. That's three times what most of the industry offers, and it costs nothing extra: it's included in the price of the system.
Three Years, Not Twelve Months
One year is the norm with drawing robots, and some give no warranty at all on the software. Here it's three years from the day you receive the kit.
Included, Not An Add On
There's no extension to take out and no separate plan to pay for. It's in the $3,500 and that's that.
Anywhere In The World
Wherever your kit is. Shipping terms are agreed country by country, and we tell you them before you buy.
No Strange Small Print
We don't make you register the product or buy consumables from any particular brand to keep it valid.
What it covers
- Manufacturing defects in the arm and its components
- Motor, electronics and pen holder failures
- Both bases and the paper mount
- Software updates for the whole period
It doesn't cover normal wear on consumables, such as pens and paper, or damage from knocks, damp or unauthorised tampering.
Questions
What everyone asks before buying. If something's missing, write to us and we'll tell you, no strings attached.
Contact SalesHow many robots come in the order?
One. The order includes the robot arm, its license, both bases and the first 500 portraits. The same license covers up to 6 arms, so if you need a second one, write to us and we'll send you terms.
What is the PictiaX® portal?
It's the website you run everything from: the event, the queue, the styles, the gallery and the CRM. It opens on Windows, Mac, tablet or phone, with nothing to install.
What happens if the venue's Wi-Fi is bad?
You carry on working. Generating the portrait needs a connection, like any system that uses AI, but you don't depend on the venue's Wi-Fi: you can tether to your phone, and if the network drops for a moment the queue is saved and whatever is pending retries on its own when it comes back. No portrait is lost and nothing has to be started again.
How long does each drawing take?
Around 60 seconds, depending on the detail, the paper size and the speed you pick.
How much does each AI portrait cost?
One PICTICOIN is one portrait, from $0.12, and the price drops with volume. The first 500 are included in the order.
Do PICTICOINS expire?
No. The balance you buy stays there for as long as your account is active, with no time limit. If you have a quiet winter you don't lose the portraits you have left, and the 500 that come with the system don't expire either. What they can't do is turn back into money: since they never expire, you can always spend them later.
Does the software have to be renewed every year?
No. The software is included and it doesn't expire: open it whenever you like without paying a thing. The only thing you pay for is the PICTICOINS each portrait uses.
How much can I charge for an event?
You set the price, based on your market and the type of event. At 100 portraits the PICTICOINS cost you around $13.40, and the rest is yours.
What paper sizes does it take?
Seven, and the guest picks from the ones you enable for that event. The two bases included cover the single portrait, 4 × 6", and the couple portrait, 6 × 8".
What warranty does the system have?
Three years, and what matters is what it covers. For all three you don't have to prove the fault was there from the start, and it applies the same if you buy as a business. International shipping for a repair is paid by the buyer outside the European Union. It's written into the Terms and Conditions, with its date and its version.
Do I need to know about robotics?
No. It arrives assembled and configured. Plug it in, create the event from your phone and put the QR where people can see it. Setting up takes about ten minutes.
Can I use it with a robot I already have?
Yes. Every drawing arm speaks G-code, so PictiaX® runs on a range of models. Write to us and we'll quote you for the software on its own.
What happens after I buy?
We write to you to book the setup session, and PictiaX® Academy is waiting in your account: express training, ten short lessons, and by the end your first event is built.
