A device that produces vector graphics drawings on paper using a mechanical pen is technically called a plotter. Likewise, a cutting plotter works like a plotter, except that it moves a blade or a knife instead of the pen to cut a material like vinyl or leather wherein the Depth of the blade is adjusted to the material. The plotter knives cut into a piece of the material which usually will be paper, Mylar or vinyl, placed on the flat surface area of the plotter’s cutting area.

The cutting plotter basically is linked to a computer, which is equipped with specialized design or drawing cutting software applications which are responsible for sending the necessary commands to the plotter about the dimensions or designs to produce the precise plan’s cutting requirements. Since cutting plotters are very easy to use it is one of the most widely used equipment as far as the cutting needs in large scale industries are concerned.

A CNC router, or in other words, a computer numerical control router, is a computer-controlled cutting machine, used for cutting various materials, such as wood, composites, metals, plastics, ...
... glass, and foams. These CNC routers can also perform various tasks and can substitute devices like the panel saw, the spindle moulder, and the boring machine. A CNC router is very similar in concept to a processing machine but the only difference is that instead of routing the machine manually or by hand, the tool directions or paths are controlled by a computer.

Likewise, a CNC laser cutter is a once again an equipment that uses a precisely focused, high-power laser beam to mark, cut, or engrave a material according to the requirement. The CNC laser cutter comes in handy especially when cutting intricate shapes and small holes. CNC laser cutters differ slightly from conventional CNC machines in their design and method of cutting operation.

Although a CNC laser cutter is dependent on computer numerical control and computer instructions it is a non-contact, thermal-based process which comprises of a laser head containing a laser focusing lens and a nozzle from which the laser beam of very high-intensity is ejected. When the heat concentration at that point becomes extremely high it results in rapid vaporization of that point on the metal. It is at this point the CNC technology controls the order of actions of this laser beam to form the desired shapes and features.
