Vinyl cutters use a motorized drag-knife cutter to cut designs out of vinyl. BeAM provides sticker vinyl (used for making stickers), but you can also purchase heat transfer vinyl (used for T-shirts, tote bags, etc.) on your own to use with the vinyl cutters.Makerspaces that have these tools: Murray, Carmichael, and Hanes
