HelloWorld – Cutting Plotter
✨ How are graphics transformed into real objects?
Logos, lettering, stickers, vinyl graphics: the cutting plotter is one of the most versatile tools found in a Fab Lab.
In just a few steps, you can turn a digital file into a physical object ready to be applied to surfaces, objects, or prototypes.
In this workshop, we'll learn how to use the Roland GS-24 plotter, a professional machine used to cut adhesive vinyl and other thin materials with great precision.
🎤 A hands-on workshop to get started with the plotter
During the workshop, we'll familiarize ourselves with the Roland CutStudio software and the entire workflow: from file preparation to cutting the material.
Starting with simple exercises, we'll create small graphic projects and turn them into custom stickers and graphics.

Anyone who wants to learn how to use a cutting plotter
Makers, designers, students, and curious people
Anyone who wants to create custom stickers, graphics, or prototypes
