A die-cutting machine is a device used to cut shapes out of various materials, such as paper, cardstock, and fabric. It uses a metal die, which is a sharp template, to create precise shapes and designs. These machines are popular in crafting, packaging, and manufacturing industries for producing consistent and intricate cuts. There are different types of die-cutting machines, including manual and electronic versions. Manual machines require physical effort to operate, while electronic machines automate the process, allowing for more complex designs. Both types are valuable tools for artists, designers, and businesses looking to enhance their projects with unique shapes.
