![]() ![]() To do most things that aren't cutting, you need to buy other tools to slot into the machine. You can draw with pens, score fold lines in cardstock, cut fabric and transfer foil into other objects, among other things. The primary cutting tool is one of seven different options for the Explore series. While the Maker 3 is the one with all the bells and whistles, the less expensive Explore 3 still has a lot going on. And since the Cricut machine know exactly what's happening with Smart Materials, the blade can travel significantly faster than it would with traditional vinyl.Ĭricut's whole deal is that you can do more than just vinyl cutting. ![]() Because you're not limited to the size of the cutting mat like with other Cricut materials, you can cut an entire 12-foot roll of vinyl in a single project. You just take the vinyl and feed it into the machine, and it cuts perfectly every time without piercing the adhesive shield on the back. Unlike the Premium Materials Cricut sells currently, Smart Materials can be put in the Cricut without a cutting mat. Like the smaller Cricut Joy before it, the Cricut Explore 3 is all about using Smart Materials. Very little was done to improve the Cricut experience outside of Smart Materials.Cricut's new Explore 3 aims to address those limitations through the expansion of its Smart Materials products and some new sensors, but creates a system where you are entirely reliant on Cricut to make anything. ![]() If you want to make a lot of designs all at once, you have to operate within the limitations of how fast your machine can cut. If you want to make a big project, you need to be able to piece together smaller sheets of cut material. In practice, the greatest limitation is time and patience. In theory, creating with a Cricut machine is limited only by your imagination. These machines have become explosively popular over the last couple of years, largely due to how easy they are to use. These machines cut vinyl, paper, cardstock and more in whatever shape you send without needing a lot of technical skill. Have you ever browsed Etsy and wondered how so many creators are able to quickly create decals for your car or stickers for your laptop? There's a good chance many of those small businesses rely heavily on a Cricut. ![]()
