The cutting plotter is the simplest Fablab machine and it goes unnoticed, but I like it the most.
You can cut vinyl adhesive, textile vinyl and copper adhesive. In the design of the glove create some indicative arrows in blue vinyl, a very easy design, but like everything depending on your knowledge in design you can create much more creative designs.
With the tool of Inkscape you can make pretty good designs, vectorizing images is not complicated and to start with the plotter it is better to do simple things.


Examples:

The parameters of the plotter depend a lot on the material, in the plotter that I use floor to put for the vinyls, these:
Cutting speed: 24
Strength: 130
Deviation of the blade: 0.250


Once the vinyl is cut you have to work manually and remove the parts you do not want in our design, for this we will use tweezers.

Important: To place vinyl in a glass you have to take into account in which part of the glass you will see the design, for this you have to cut the vinyl in mirror as in the textile vinyl especially if they are texts.
