Cutting force and media width decide everything the software cannot · review
The only cutter here with a built-in scanner: scan a drawing into a cut file, with an auto blade that detects material thickness up to 3 mm.
Draw on paper, scan, cut. For quilters and paper crafters, this replaces design software altogether.
The blade senses material thickness, so you do not set depth by hand.
The 12-inch mat limits size, and it is not a sign cutter. For long vinyl, see the Cameo or USCutter.
