Well depends on the actual material you are using. Just google PVC free vinyl, you can buy the stuff in any form. If you find sth for your application a laser is perfectly fine.

Standard Vinyl that contains PVC should never be heated with a Laser. It will create corrosive chlorine gas.

Any advanced Vinyl like PVB, PVA or any variant that does not contain chlorine can be cut with diode co2 and fiber without issues.

I went down that road first building a plotter attachment then trying to attach a knife on an ender 3. Kinda got it to run by simply extruding svgs into a 1 layer body that i could then “print” with a standard slicer. In the end i build myself a laser, and let me tell you, everything before was a huge waste of time :) the laser cuts like a beast, much faster and cleaner. Would not recomment using a knife in a laserworld.

If you are oke with the smaller volume, this is a good printer. this thing will be able to print flawlessly, all parts are semi open source and there’s a great community if you need support parts or any help. Prusa is above average stuff.
