What is a Cricut machine?
Cricut machines are versatile cutting tools popular in makerspaces for crafting, design, and DIY projects. They use digital files to precisely cut a wide range of materials—including vinyl, paper, fabric, and even thin wood—making them ideal for creating custom decals, stencils, cards, apparel designs, and more. Users design their projects using Cricut’s software, then load the material into the machine, which follows the design with extreme accuracy. Easy to learn and highly flexible, Cricut machines empower makers of all skill levels to personalize projects, explore creative ideas, and produce professional-quality results with minimal setup.
