Supports cutting without an adhesive matWhether the model documents a matless cutting route using compatible material and any required accessory.

Printed-project limitsThe documented constraints on print-and-cut or scanner-based cutting for this model.

Software and payment requirementsThe supported design/control software and reviewed distinction between included functions and paid extras.
