Model
Type, Mold, Pattern
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you to remember: What model cutter (かた) is this? I can only use a certain type for my work.
