Combining precision cutting, pattern marking, plotting, and scribing in one compact system, the Velocity Flatbed Cutter helps manufacturers streamline production, reduce material waste, and achieve consistent results across a wide range of materials.

A Complete Solution for Modern Cutting Challenges

The Velocity Flatbed Plotter Cutter is designed to do more than simply cut. Its multifunctional workflow allows operators to plot, annotate, mark, scribe, and cut materials with precision, making it adaptable to a variety of manufacturing and prototyping applications.

Multifunctional Capabilities

Plotting and pattern marking
Precision cutting
Contour cutting
Perforation
Scribing and annotation
Die-cut-style incisions
Clean part removal with dimensional accuracy

The integrated plotting and marking function uses a dedicated pen tool to place lines, labels, guides, and other annotations directly onto the material before cutting.

This is particularly useful for textile patterns, footwear components, furniture templates, prototypes, and technical applications where accurate alignment and repeatability are essential.

Key Features

Reinforced, Low-Friction Cutting Surface

The specialized cutting table is designed to provide stable material support while reducing friction between the material and cutting surface. This helps improve cutting consistency while minimizing unnecessary blade wear.

Universal Knife Design

The high-tolerance hardened blade is designed to process both lightweight and denser materials using a single cutting head, reducing the need for frequent tool changes during production.

CAD and File Format Compatibility

The Velocity Flatbed Cutter supports common industry file formats including PLT, HPGL, and HPG, allowing integration with many CAD and pattern-making workflows. Any CAD or pattern-making software capable of exporting .PLT, .HPG, or .HPGL files can be used with the machine.

Modern Connectivity Options

USB 2.0 and LAN/Ethernet connectivity provide reliable data transfer and allow the machine to integrate with local computer systems and network environments.

Flexible Cutting & Plotting Workflow

Print-Then-Cut Configuration: Create vector lines, labels, guides, or pattern annotations before automatically switching to the cutting operation. This workflow helps maintain accurate registration between plotting and cutting.

Independent Annotation & Cutting Modes

The machine can be configured to annotate internal pattern areas and then perform an external contour cut, giving operators greater control over the production process.

Sequential Operation (No Simultaneous Printing and Cutting)

The Velocity Flatbed Cutter performs one operation at a time (plotting or cutting) helping maintain precision and minimize the possibility of misalignment.

Note: Any CAD or pattern-making software may be used, provided that it can export files in .PLT, .HPG, or .HPGL format, which are compatible with the machine for printing. If your software cannot export those formats and can only export DXF or DWG files, Velocity Plotters & Cutters offers a conversion program that converts DXF, DXF-AAMA, or DWG files into .PLT or .HPGL format — creating a secure, compatible printing and cutting file. The conversion program is available at an additional cost.

For the Los Angeles, California area, onsite installation is also available.

Velocity Template Cutter Model

Industrial Power for Rigid Materials

The Velocity Template Cutter provides an additional cutting solution for manufacturers working with rigid materials and demanding production environments.

Designed for applications involving acrylic, PVC, thick cardboard, kraft paper, and other rigid substrates, the Template Cutter combines cutting power with precision and stability.

Plotting and Pattern Marking

Precise Cutting and Die Cutting

Part Removal and Precision Cutting Guarantee

The Flatbed Cutter not only performs precise cutting, but also offers the functionality of scribing and marking with a special marker. This is essential in the textile, footwear and furniture industries for drawing patterns, annotations and important features directly onto materials prior to cutting.

The system uses heavy-duty blades designed to handle a wide variety of materials, such as thick cardboard, paper, PVC, rigid plastic and industrial textiles. Depending on the chosen configuration, the equipment can perform outer contour cutting or detailed perforations to simplify downstream processes like folding or assembly.

After completing the scribing and cutting process, the operator removes the parts with ease, thanks to the precision and efficiency of the Velocity Flatbed Cutter. Designed to deliver clean, accurate cuts, this machine ensures that each part meets the original design dimensions and specifications, with no deviations or imperfections.

Highlights & Advantages

Industrial-Grade Precision & Force

Built for professionals who require consistent, clean cuts when processing harder materials.

24,000 RPM Milling Cutter

The high-speed milling cutter provides clean and accurate edges when working with rigid substrates.

Cutting Thickness Capacity

Acrylic and PVC: 1–3 mm
Kraft paper and cardboard: 0.1–1 mm

Reinforced Table with Vacuum Hold

The vacuum system helps secure materials firmly against the cutting surface, improving stability and reducing movement during cutting.

Closed-Loop Servo System

The closed-loop servo system provides precise motion control and stability for continuous and complex cutting operations.

What is the difference between the Standard Flatbed Cutter and the Velocity Template Cutter?

The Standard Velocity Flatbed Cutter is designed as a versatile solution for applications such as pattern plotting, marking, precision cutting, and processing materials like paper, cardboard, PVC, plastic board, and industrial textiles.

The Velocity Template Cutter is designed for applications that require greater cutting power and the ability to process rigid materials. It features a 24,000 RPM milling cutter, reinforced vacuum table, and closed-loop servo system, making it better suited for materials such as acrylic, PVC, and thicker rigid substrates.

In short: The Standard Flatbed Cutter is the more versatile option for general cutting, plotting, and marking applications, while the Template Cutter is the better choice for heavier-duty cutting of rigid materials.
