Users benefit from a device that lowers their cost of inventory and maximizes their throughput on install jobs. The cutter can work cutting out the patterns (window, hood, wrap design) precisely while the installer is prepping the vehicle. Because all restyling applications require some method of surface prep, the cutter can be an active part of the process and reduce the time to install while providing consistent results for many years.
