Discover cutting plotters and create your own textile designs
At FabLab Bayreuth, a digital idea becomes a tangible design experience: The VHS course Introduction to Cutting Plotter teaches the basics of cutting plotting and textile design on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. In the open high-tech workshop of Upper Franconia, participants will experience a hands-on event with modern manufacturing technology, a creative atmosphere, and their own project work.
From vector graphics to finished motives
The program begins with a welcome and getting to know each other. The course then introduces the differences between vector and bitmap graphics and leads into creating and editing vector graphics for plotting. This lays a solid foundation for clean contours, precise film cuts, and individual design ideas.
Practice with expert24 and Secabo TC5
The focus is on the cutting plotter expert24 from the manufacturer GCC and the thermal transfer press Secabo TC5. Participants will learn about different types of films and their applications, practice dry adhesion with transfer films, and realize their own motives practically. The working area of the plotter allows for films up to a width of about 60 centimeters, while the press is designed for textile printing up to 38 × 38 centimeters.
Take home your own results
The experience of the event does not end with theory: The workshop price includes a logo print in dry adhesion and a textile print on a garment. For the textile print, participants should bring their own t-shirt. A notebook is not required; basic PC knowledge makes it easier to get started.
Small group, focused learning atmosphere
With a maximum of six participants, the VHS course offers a manageable learning environment for individual questions and practical exercises. FabLab Bayreuth stands as an open high-tech workshop for an accessible approach to modern technology, combining event planning, creative audience engagement, and applied event management in a compact workshop format.
Conclusion
The course combines digital design, film technology, and textile printing into an immediate event experience. Those who want to develop their own motives, operate the cutting plotter confidently, and implement a personal textile project will find a practical entry point at FabLab Bayreuth. Mark the date now and experience the creative potential of modern manufacturing technology live.
