All-in-One Pattern Plotter Cutter
Print, cut, and perforate paper patterns in one workflow
The Velocity Pattern Plotter Cutter is an all-in-one system designed for fashion designers, garment manufacturers, textile professionals, and pattern makers. It combines inkjet printing with precision paper cutting and perforating, allowing users to produce detailed patterns and finished paper templates in a single workflow.
Available in 49″ (1200 Futura) and 64″ (1600 Futura) models, the Pattern Plotter Cutter supports a range of pattern-making applications and integrates with commonly used CAD software. By combining printing and cutting in one machine, it helps reduce manual handling and streamline the process from digital pattern development to physical output.
All-in-One Technology: Print and Cut Without Switching Equipment
The Velocity Pattern Plotter Cutter combines printing, cutting, and perforating in one system. Print vector lines, annotations, technical symbols, and labels, then cut or perforate the paper pattern without repositioning the material or switching between machines.
Key Features
Print, Cut, and Perforate
Print patterns and annotations, then cut or perforate paper in the same workflow. This integrated process helps reduce manual handling and simplifies pattern production.
Two Model Sizes
Choose between the 49″ 1200 Futura and 64″ 1600 Futura models to match your pattern sizes and workspace requirements.
High-Quality Pattern Printing
The system uses HP #45 black ink cartridges to produce clear lines, annotations, and pattern details for accurate pattern development.
Precision Cutting and Perforating
Cut or perforate printed paper patterns with precision, making it easier to separate pattern pieces and prepare templates for production.
CAD Software Compatibility
The Pattern Plotter Cutter works with major CAD systems used in garment, textile, and pattern production, including Gerber AccuMark, Optitex, Audaces, TukaTech, PAD System, StyleCAD, Lectra, Vetigraph, and Crea.
USB and Ethernet Connectivity
USB 2.0 and LAN (Ethernet) connectivity provide flexible options for transferring files from your CAD system or workstation to the Pattern Plotter Cutter.
Need Heavier Materials or Non-Roll Media? Consider the Flatbed Cutter
The Velocity Pattern Plotter Cutter is built for paper-based pattern printing and cutting. If your workflow requires cutting rigid substrates like cardboard, vinyl, PVC, or industrial textiles, the Velocity Flatbed Cutter is the better-suited solution for that type of material.

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 plotter 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, plotter-compatible printing file. The conversion program is available at an additional cost.
