Abstract
A heat pen may be used with an electronic cutting and/or drawing system to enable the electronic cutting and/or drawing system to use heat to define text and/or designs on a substrate. The heat pen may be coupled with a cradle of an electronic cutting and/or drawing system directly or by assembling an adapter with the heat pen. Power may be supplied to the heat pen by electrically coupling the heat pen to an external power supply, such as a power and/or communications port of the electronic cutting and/or drawing system. Electronic heated design systems and methods for modifying substrates using heat are also disclosed.
