Overview
The Roland GX-24 CAMM-1 is a drag knife cutter. You can feed the machine vinyl sticker material for creating custom sized stickers. You can also feed it copper sticker material, useful for flexible circuits or antenna design. The machine can take a material on roll or a piece with the maximum width of 58 centimeters. You will need to prepare a vector graphics file in the shape you want to cut. The vector design file needs exported to PDF file format.
