What are the advantages of using a plotter, over templates and plotting by hand?
In a nutshell, efficiency, accuracy and speed. Once all your patterns and templates have been loaded in to the computer, they can be permanently stored on disk, eliminating the need to keep and store piles of physical patterns. Patterns can be quickly and easily modified. The same pattern can be repeated thousands of times without degradation. Patterns are consistently and accurately drawn to 0.2 of a millimetre. A customer can email through a file which can be loaded in to the nesting software, and immediately plotted with just a couple of clicks of the mouse.
