Cricut Maker Machine, Champagne

Product Information

Smart Materials come in vinyl, iron-on, and writable paper. The ability to cut designs up to 12 feet is one main reason to work with Smart Materials. It’s more efficient to work with Smart Materials if your project requires cutting any of these; otherwise you don’t need Smart Materials. The Maker 3 delivers greater speeds if you’re working with Smart Materials. With more than double the speed on the Cricut Maker, you can create double the craft in the same amount of time. Next up is speed! Cricut Maker 3 cuts up to 2x faster than Cricut Maker, when using Smart Materials without a mat.

Cricut makes three different machines: the Maker, the Explore, and the Joy. The Cricut Maker is Cricut's flagship model, with ten times the cutting power of the Explore. The Maker line is for serious hobbyist crafters and professionals who sell what they make. The Cricut Explore is a happy medium model, the same size as the Maker but with some limitations. The Cricut Joy is an easy-to-use "mini-Cricut" that is perfect for beginners, for folks who want a second machine for when they're on the go, or for people who don't have as much space to devote to a larger machine. Smart Stencilcomes in a range of sizes up to 12′. The maximum cut width is 11.7″. Smart Stencil can be continuous cut up to 12′ at a time, which is perfect for making huge home decor signs or painted murals. Can I Cut Smart Materials On A Mat? If you are not using Smart Materials and are cutting your project using a Cricut mat, then the cutting speed is the same as Cricut Maker, which is still 2x the speed of the original Cricut Explore machine.

Cricut Maker 3 is the newest craft cutting machine from Cricut, and actually is very similar to Cricut Maker in size and, like the older machine, can be used with more than 300 materials.

We pit the Cricut Maker vs Cricut Maker 3, and compare new features to old so you can make an informed choice. The Maker 3 definitely has a different focus than the Maker since it does not have the Rotary Blade and housing, fine point pen, or any mats.I was a little skeptical of this, until I saw it in action. The Maker 3 really does cut Smart Materials twice as fast! Cricut Maker 3 Accessories This Cricut Maker Bundle is the perfect choice as a high quality cutting machine for a wide variety of professional crafting projects.

Cricut is, without doubt, a leading name when it comes to cutting machines in the crafting world. They have various products targeting different types of crafters, including the Cricut Maker 3. But how does it differ from the original flagship Cricut Maker? The Maker works with over 300 material types, including tough ingredients like balsa wood and fabric. The Maker 3 can also cut over 300 materials, with commerical-grade cutting and the exact same powerful tools for debossing, engraving, and more.

The machine button design has also been slightly updated, with a “play” triangle button replacing the Cricut “C” button on Cricut Maker. Cricut Maker 3 Smart Materials The original Cricut Maker doesn’t support matless cutting of Smart Materials, so it only works at standard speeds. However, the Maker 3 also defaults to these standard speeds if you’re cutting other types of non-Smart Materials. Maker vs Maker 3: Power Adapter
