The GCC Jaguar VLX vinyl cutter is a 2D subtractive manufacturing machine.
Put simply, the vinyl cutter is a computer-numeric-controlled (CNC) blade. It’s capable of making many exact cuts into a sheet of vinyl very rapidly. This makes the vinyl cutter most useful for cutting designs into vinyl stickers and heat transfers.
CAM
The CAM software used with the Jaguar is called GreatCut4. There are material profiles within which you should heed when you are cutting different materials.
Default Material Cutting Settings
Material (profile) | Blade | Pressure (g) | Speed (cm/s) |
---|---|---|---|
Adhesive Back, Standard | Red (45º) | 40 | 90 |
Heat Transfer, Standard | Red (45º) | 40 | 90 |
Heat Transfer, Sparkle | Red (45º) | 80 | 70 |
Heat Transfer, Felt | See a CaTS for further guidance | 60 | 50 |
