I found this page -

Which has the following text -

"How do I draw my own shapes to cut?

So maybe you're not a master artist, but you can draw your own ready-to-cut 
art from within the Silhouette software. On the left-hand side of your 
Silhouette software window, there are various lines and shapes that you can 
use to create some fun images.
To use these tools select the line or shape that best fits your needs and 
move your cursor to start drawing inside the red cutting area. Open line 
tools inclue Line, Polyline, Spline, and Arc. Closed line tools include 
Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Polygon, Circle, Elipse, and Closed Spline.
Drawing with open lines: If this is a line, click once at your starting 
point, and drag your line to the next point you wish to drop it. Do this as 
many times with the same line as you wish. Lines and Arcs will be very 
simple, while Polylines and Splines will continue drawing from each point 
until you release with a double-click of your mouse.
Drawing with closed lines: If you are using closed shapes, Rectangles, 
Rounded Rectangles, Circles, and Elipses will be very simple, while Polygons 
and Closed Splines will continue drawing from each point until you release 
with a double-click of your mouse.
When finished with a particular tool, remember to click on the "Select" 
button on the left-hand side of your screen to stop using that particular 
drawing tool.
If you don't like the shape you've created but don't want to start over from 
scratch, you can use the "Edit Point" button to move select points around to 
your liking, or right-click and select "Delete Anchor Point".
Now step back and admire your masterpiece. Congratulations! Picasso himself 
would be envious of these original works of art you've created with your 
new-found tools."


Looks quite an interesting device.  Depending on the resolution, it could 
cut stencils that could then be sprayed through?
