The main difference between flatbed and drum plotters is that the drawing surface is wrapped arround the perimeter of a drum. The drum plotters are generally smaller than flatbed plotters. The drum plotters have lower resolutions than flatbed. flatbed plotter can cut more thick material, can can finish cut at one time, do not need to leave a little at the edage.
The speed of a flatbed plotter can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer. Typically, flatbed plotters have a speed range that can go from a few inches per second to over a hundred inches per second, with higher speeds resulting in faster output.

Flatbed plotters operate by using a stationary flat surface on which materials, like paper or vinyl, are placed. A movable print head or cutting blade traverses the surface, applying ink or cutting shapes as it moves in both the X and Y axes. This design allows for precise control over the printing or cutting process, making it ideal for producing large graphics, signs, and intricate designs. The material remains flat and secure during operation, ensuring high accuracy and quality in the final output.
In flat bed plotter paper is kept in horizontal position in a tray like bedsheet on a bed and in one of the arm pen is being kept and this pen is moved left-right up and up-down by a motor to draw different types of lines and drawings
Thers are two types of plotters, namely , (i) flat bed plotters, and (ii) drum type plotters.
The Plotters was created in 1996.
A flatbed scanner is a type of scanner which uses a flat, glass surface for scanning documents. Some of its disadvantages are scanning is done page by page, too much desk space is taken and not suitable for film scanning tasks.

the main difference is: in drum printer paper and pen(which r used to draw on paper and it can be one or more than one) moves simultaneously to draw..the movement of drum gives vertical positioning and movement of pens give horizontal positioning. but in flatbed..paper does not move..all the movement is done by the pen and able to draw complex graphics..
