The traditional compass has a sharp point that can punch a hole in the paper when drawing circles. Because Exlicon doesn’t have a sharp point, it won’t damage paper. The tool also prevents the circle’s center from slipping. Exlicon consists of a base, a long and short ruler, and a water-drop-shaped ruler. Magnets connect the wings and base for drawing geometries. The tool can precisely and accurately draw ellipses, circles in over 50 dimensions, and more than 100 different sizes of arcs. Hexagons, pentagrams, and golden ratios can also be drawn.
