Cricut Explore 3 – The DIY dream machine
It’s been a year in the making, so today we’re absolutely thrilled to announce the all-new Cricut Explore 3.
You can cut, draw, score, and more with jaw-dropping speed and incredible precision.
Make in record time.
We’ve heard from you that the only thing that holds you back from making is time. While we can’t change the fact that there are 24 hours in a day, we can change how fast your cutting machine can work for you. The all-new Cricut Explore 3 has more powerful motors, which means you now have the ability to cut up to 2X faster than before on Smart Materials — all without sacrificing power or precision.
What’s so smart about Smart Materials?
Cricut Explore 3 works with our all-new Smart Materials. What makes these new materials unique? They easily load directly into the machine (without a cutting mat!) and stay aligned without any manual adjustment. That means — for the first time ever — you can make cuts up to 12 ft long in one go.
Since there’s nothing to prep, you can keep your focus on the best part — making.
Here’s a quick overview of the Smart Materials available at launch:
Smart Vinyl
Go long with Cricut Smart Vinyl! It comes in both permanent and removable varieties. It also comes in a wide array of colors, effects, and material lengths from 3 ft (0.9 m) to 75 ft (22.9 m)!
Smart Iron-On
Available in a variety of colors and effects so you can create a custom shirt for yourself or the whole team. Cut a single image up to 4 ft (1.2 m) or repeated shapes up to 12 ft (3.6 m). Make a custom shirt for yourself or your entire team! Just load and go.
Smart Paper Sticker Cardstock
Just cut, peel, and stick! Create fun cards, bold banners, punchy posters, and layered paper projects without messy glue.
Go the distance.
Cricut Explore 3 can cut big banners or create an entire solar system of stars – the sky is the limit! Cut up to 12 ft (3.6 m) in one go with Smart Materials, no mat needed – just load & go.
New sensors inside Cricut Explore 3 measure your material before cutting to ensure there is enough for your project. If more material is needed, our Design Space app will prompt you to load more. There are also material guides on the front and inside of the machine to keep your materials aligned from start to finish.
