Sheet metal bending can be incredibly tedious if you don't know where the folds should be. Therefore, using a CNC Sharpie to delineate where the bends can expedite the fabrication process, as this engineer did for his projects.

I learned about the company Scribit in 2018 when they gave a demo at MIT. The company was started by an MIT Professor Carlo Ratti. It's a robot that hangs on a wall with 2 wires and draws images. They have a cool video on their website, https://scribit.design/, and here's an article about the company: https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2018/06/scribit-drawing-robot/. Could be interesting for some folks!

I took EECS C106A last semester and one of the final project groups at the workstation next to us had a robot draw similar to this. The group manufactured an attachment that attached to the end effector of the Baxter robot. It wasn't able to draw lines, it instead lowered its pen and dotted the paper, then raised it up and continued. It was a really cool project that I'm now realizing was graphics-related!
