Cutting / Print & Cut Tools

Supports virtually all cutters

Contour Cut

Contour Cut

Automatically create a contour cut path around raster and vector images. No need to spend the time and effort to vectorize (trace) raster images or hand draw contour lines.


Support for Virtually ANY Cutter

SignLab™ supports all cutters with proprietary cutting algorithms that produce the cleanest shapes in the least time and make weeding problems a thing of the past

Tool Tracker

SignLab™ features a tool tracker that enables the user to keep track of the distance the knife has traveled, and can prompt the user to inspect the blade for wear.

Cut Time Estimator

SignLab's cutting technology also features an estimation tool that calculates the time it will take to finish cutting the current job. With this feature you can move on to other tasks while your machine is working, and you will know in advance when the job is to be finished. SignLab helps you manage your time!
