-A Digital flatbed cutters are the perfect solution for prototyping and producing packaging, displays, textiles, and signage. They are easy to operate with short set-up times. The wide range of tools and add-ons make them extremely versatile for a multitude of applications such as . They are integral for commercial signage, display, packaging, PPE and specialty manufacturing and cutting applications. They are widely used in rapid manufacturing, specialty manufacturing and prototyping applications.

-A flatbed cutter basically has a knife blade on a pivoting point to cut through material like paper, vinyl, cardboard, foam board, some plastics and films. It can also have other tools like a pen to draw in large format, a creasing tool, etc.

 I wanted to learn about different basic operations of the cutter like cutting, half-cuts and creasing.
-Half-cuts and creasing both allow for folding in opposite directions. For this I chose an origami based project so I could explore folding in both directions - mountains and valleys.

 Unlike lasercutting and CNC milling, flatbed cutting doesn't have any kerf, because the blade is simply slicing through material like a vinyl cutter.
