As 2021 finally comes to a close most people are looking forward to 2022 and how to reinvent themselves, and if you’re a maker, craft hobbyist or anyone who likes to create, the Cricut Maker 3 should be on your radar.
The Maker 3 is the latest smart cutting machine from Cricut that brings a new dimension to the world of die-cutting machines / craft plotters with unparalleled accuracy, speed and material compatibility.
Those new to the world of cutting machines should think of them as 2D paper printers that, instead of simply adding colour, can have their heads changed for all manner of cutting, scoring, drawing and painting tools.
These heads can be changed by the user and, with the large array of tools offered by Cricut, it’s just a matter of what you can think up.
Those already familiar with these machines will still be surprised by the capabilities of the Maker 3 starting with outright speed.
Cricut boasts operational speeds double that seen in previous generation machines. From small scale projects just for you all the way up to large productions for business, the Maker 3’s speed does it all without wasting a second.
That speed doesn’t come with the drawback of lower output because the Maker 3 can cut Smart Materials up to a rather impressive 3.6 metres in one go.
What’s Smart Materials? That’s Cricut’s range of special crafting vinyl, paper, iron-on, cardstock and more that is designed to work with machines from the company flawlessly and without the need for a mat.
The large range of Smart Materials are best used with the Maker 3 as it can handle more than 300 different types of materials. From soft fabrics to hard wood or even leather, the Maker 3 with the right tool head and material can cut through it all.
The smart design on offer here also has a tonne of creature comforts to make usage as fun and stress-free as possible.
From a charging tray for your phone or tablet to an accessories drawer and even a dedicated space for hand tools to complement the work of your machine. The people at Cricut are makers themselves so they know that these little touches go a long way.
The Maker 3 as well as several other Cricut machines and accessories are available in South Africa right now through Incredible Connection.
