Vynil Cutter and Parametric Design for Laser Cutting
1. Cut Something on the Vinylcutter
Objective: Gain hands-on experience with the vinylcutter. Our University does not have a vinyl cutter so I checked
a company that does graphic design and asked them to teach me for a fee. I was introduced to Corel Draw which they use for their graphics
software designs. Its a simple connection from the laptop to the vinyl plotter

I designed three stickers, two plate numbers and and a church name. I started off by opening corel Draw on the company computer, then
I was guided into arranging the letters and numbers of plate numbers and text into the text area.
