What is a Cutting plotter?

A cutting plotter is a machine that cuts sheet-shaped objects. The line data drawn by the drawing software (drawing software) is used as the cut path, and the data is cut along the data. Generally, it is often used for half-cutting, and you can make a sticker or sticker of any shape by cutting it in half using a sheet of sealing material. Depending on the model, in addition to cutting and half-cutting, it is possible to make streaks to make creases on paper and to process perforations. There is also a model that can be easily edited by reading a line or picture written on paper with a scanner and automatically generating a cut path from it.

Application of Cutting plotter

The cutting plotter can be cut into any shape, but the processing speed is not fast, so it is not suitable for mass production. It is used for signboards, posters, and other in-store pop clippings. In addition, the sheet for sealing with release paper is also used for punching the seal shape by half punching. Many models have an inkjet printer and a cutting plotter integrated. Set the roll-shaped media, print it, and cut it downstream. It is efficient because you can print and cut out at once. The cutting plotter can also cut cloth materials, so it is also used for cutting out clothing.
