Having problems with message search?
It is a
cutter, (although you can replace the blade with a pen and use it like a
plotter, but you wouldn’t generally want to do that)
What you can do is print something on your
normal printer, and then the Craft Robo will read
some registration marks that it also prints, and it can then cut around the shape
you have printed. I have seriously
oversimplified the process involved, but you can print something and
then cut it out.
In order to cut a shape out, the cutting lines need to be in vector
format – some Craft Robo users use Wintopo to create the vector image for Craft Robo to use – but I am not sure how that would work
with your pattern making software as I don’t know what of sort of format
it uses.
You can only cut as wide as a4, although
you could cut quite long pieces, but I expect you would still need
to tape your patterned pieces together.
The Craft Robo
Pro cuts much wider but it is also much more expensive.

Now I've looked at the catalog. Specs are USB 1.1, so either the
catalog or
the item itself is out of date. (I still think it's just a cutter.)

-hi
This is the first I have heard about craft robo. I couldn't find any
prices on their web site. The make very large models for printing and
cutting garment cad patterns. As home pattern makers print their
patterns and then tape them together I wonder if craft robo could be
used to print dress shop, pattern maker, or other garment design software.
