The Kongsberg C24 is a flatbed digital cutter and plotter used to produce vinyl graphics, technical templates, and prototypes by precisely marking out contours on a variety of materials. It falls under tariff item 9017.10.10 as a drafting machine because its primary function is to draw or mark out patterns and designs under computer control. The device is not a printing machine, as it creates lines and cut lines rather than applying ink.
