Yes, you’re seeing that long list correctly; one app can help you design for high-powered tools like a laser cutter or a CNC machine, and for consumer-grade tools like the Cricut and Sillhouette. Regardless of what each of those tools provides (or not provide), they all work with vector-based graphics.
The leading vector-based software, with the most user & beginner-friendly support, is Adobe Illustrator. Learn one app to help design for anything that uses vector-based graphics!
The class can be altered to use Inkscape, an open-source, free vector-based graphics app similar to Adobe Illustrator. Happy to chat more!
