VCarve and OMAX are both platform-specific software with their own set of idiosyncrasies and payment packages. Fusion360 is ostensibly free and can design for most of the machines in the space - but there is a lack of in-depth training available. Why not see if an adept member can volunteer some time for a class?

Roland GS-24 Vinyl Cutter

The Roland GS-24 is a tried and true vinyl cutter. It appears as a printer to the computer, and the print drivers are free and easy to install on both Windows & Mac -- letting members print from their own computers as well (if desired). The software/driver tutorials are also well thought out, documented, and very helpful.

I have personally used this machine at many institutions, and seen it used at even more. It is the Fab Foundation's go-to vinyl cutter in America (at least for what I've seen).

Especially now that we’re developing a ceramics area, this would be a great synergy between 3D printing and ceramics. This way we can print very, very complicated and precise parts with the ceramic resin, and then fire them to yield a purely ceramic part. One of the few FormLabs resins that can (through firing) be considered food safe.
