Yea, the pro machines use a rotary, or vibratory knife, that has the ability to aim the cutting edge on the cut line. As far as I know, there’s no open source software that can do this. A few folks have been working on it though. No one has put a 40watt laser on a lowrider yet. It’s probably a really bad idea though. Those tubes are delicate, and not cheap. You’re also going to need a vacuum table to hold the fabric down. The tables I’ve been up close to have little 1mm diameter(probably smaller) holes spaced about a centimeter apart across the entire table. The spoil board put on top of it, was a thicker vinyl material(maybe 5mm), with matching holes.
