Cricut.com/setup - What's Cricut ?

From cutting machines to crafting essentials, Cricut products make it easy to create just for fun, for friends & family, or even for a small business at cricut.com/setup. Many people think a Cricut machine is just for cutting paper or vinyl, but it can do SO much more than that! There are over 100 different materials that a Cricut Explore machine can cut, and the new Cricut Maker has a rotary blade and a deep knife blade that can cut even more!

    • How Cricut Machines Work?

    You can think of a Cricut cutting machine like a household printer. Except instead of printing your design onto a sheet of paper, a Cricut machine uses a small, movable blade to cut the design out of a sheet of paper (or other material.)

    First, you create a design in Cricut’s design software or app. Then, you send the design to the Cricut cutting machine via Bluetooth or USB. The Cricut machine receives the design and cuts it out using a small, precise blade.
