Knife Cutting
STIKA
Roland Knife Cutters are the only knife cutting machines
to be DIRECTLY CONTROLLED from 2D Design V2
User Friendly, Low Cost Vinyl Cutters
It’s easy to see why these are among the bestloved pieces of equipment we sell. We frequently
come across schools still getting regular and
valuable use from quite elderly models even if
they have upgraded to larger machines in other
areas of the department. The Stika is a compact,
child-friendly machine that still has the power to
fascinate as it steadily cuts out children’s design
work with a degree of precision that could never
be achieved by hand.
Many primary schools have found a Stika to be an
ideal and simple tool for pupils to take their first
steps with genuine CAD/CAM activity. They work
in just the same way as their bigger counterparts
and can even be used for print-and-cut work by
using the manual alignment tool provided with
each machine. Being lighter in construction,
Stikas will not cut card or plastics but will happily
cope with the full range of vinyls and applied
media including Ceramicon and Cutronic Foil.
Three models are available and these differ only
in their capacity so you will need to check the
available sizes of media you are likely to use when
making your choice. The largest machine, the
SV-15E, cuts at more than double the speed of
the smaller models so this too needs bearing in
mind if throughput and avoiding bottlenecks is a
priority.
Stika SV-8E
Stika SV-12E
Stika SV-15E
The ideal, low cost, starter machine for real
CAD/CAM activity. The perfect partner for 2D
Primary as well as 2D Design, and for making
small-scale stickers, labels and iron-on logos in
a workshop or studio area.
It’s still a child-friendly Stika but bigger and
able to use media (maybe) bought for a larger
machine. This makes it the perfect back-up for
an over-worked CAMM 1 as well as an excellent
medium-sized knife cutter in its own right.
Largest of all, the SV-15E allows A3-sized
media to be handled without trimming and
several projects can be ‘nested’ for economy.
The machine cuts at twice the speed of its
smaller siblings making it a serious contender.

Ink Cartridges
For Roland Stika, CAMM 1, VersaSTUDIO and VersaCAMM
Roland are constantly developing and improving their eco-solvent inks,
so there are now three different inks available - Eco-Sol Max, Eco-Sol Max2
and Eco-Sol Max3. It is important that you select the appropriate ink
for your machine. All cartridges are clearly labelled, so unless you wish to
upgrade your machine, please choose the ink-type currently in use.
Standard Cutter
Replacement general-purpose cutters for all Roland knife-cutting machines.
These solid carbide inserts slip into the blade holder to restore ‘as new’
cutting performance.

Extra Sharp Cutter
This extra sharp fine pointed cutter is useful for intricate detail on thicker
materials. It requires a much lower force than the standard cutter. (Not
suitable for scoring.)
N.B. Most older machines can be upgraded to use the latest Eco-Sol Max3 ink if desired the upgrade involves updating software and firmware as well as doing a special cleaning
routine. All cartridges must be changed at the same time. For further details see:
www.techsoft.co.uk/products/knife-cutting/materials/ink_cartridges.asp
* When ordering, where COL is included in the order code, please specify
colour required.
Creasing Tools
Eco-Sol Max3 Ink
Eco Max3 is the latest in a range
of eco-solvent inks from Roland.
The ink offers even better overall
performance with even faster drying
times, bigger cartridges and a lower
price per ml of ink. Eco-Sol Max3 is now supplied with all new machines.
Eco-Sol Max3 is available in six colours: cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light
cyan, light magenta and light black. (For white or metallic, use Eco-Sol Max2
cartridges with these.)
These creasing tools are ideal for making the folds in nets.

Wire Bending
The World’s first Desktop CNC Wire Bender
What is a DIWire?
DIWire is a small machine that bends wire into elaborate shapes by following simple vector
drawings. The bent wires can then be assembled to make just about any 3D structure.
Ease of Use
First design the shape you require in any design software that outputs .dxf or .svg files
– TechSoft 2D Design is ideal (see page 12). Next, drag and drop the file into the
Wireware software provided. Wireware tells you the length of the wire needed
and detects any points in the image that the machine cannot bend. Simply
connect the DIWire to your computer with a USB cable, load the wire and
then press “Bend” in the software to bend your shape in just minutes.
How Does It Work?
Wire is loaded into one end, where a series of feeding rollers
ensure it’s straight before sending it to a bending head. The
machine is capable of forming curves and angles up to 135°
while rotating the wire in any direction, giving users freedom
in their designs.
Creative Designs
Individual bent wires can be soldered or clipped together
to create fantastic 3D structures. DIWire provides
endless possibilities for Art and Design students.
