There are companies that manufacture CO2 Lasers mounted on X-Y tables
that understand HP-Plotter controls.  Problem is that you're looking at
an investment of $30K minimum.

I've been thinking of building such a beast for quite some time now.
Problem, again, is economics.  Once you've built the hardware you still
have to look at getting paper, spools, spool ends, boxes....
