So....does anyone have modeling experience outside of 3D printing? Mainly with UV wrapping/texturing.

I have this idea, it makes sense in my head, but wanna get a second opinion so to speak before I spend $300 on another machine.
I originally got into 3D modeling some years ago to mod some video games I enjoy. I'm wondering if the same UV wrapping process used to put a texture on a model could be used to make template for a vinyl cutter.
