Our take on the Cricut Maker 3 Smart Die-Cutting Machine with Digital Content and Accessories

The Cricut Maker 3 is Cricut's top-tier die-cutting machine, cutting over 300 materials from vinyl and cardstock to leather, balsa and mat-free Smart Materials. It cuts faster and takes longer 12-inch cuts than the original Maker, and its adaptive tool system accepts rotary blades, knife blades, scoring wheels and pens for engraving, debossing and drawing. It suits crafters and small sellers who want one machine for apparel, stickers, cards and home decor. Compared with the Silhouette Cameo it is more closed into Cricut's Design Space ecosystem but easier to set up, and owners praise the cut quality while wishing the software and mat-free materials were less costly.

Questions and answers

Is the Maker 3 worth it over the Cricut Explore?
Yes if you cut leather, balsa, fabric or long mat-free rolls. The Explore handles vinyl and cardstock for less, but the Maker 3 adds the adaptive tool system and Smart Materials.
What is the difference from the original Maker?
The Maker 3 cuts up to twice as fast, takes 12-foot mat-free Smart Materials, and has a sleeker body. Both use the same adaptive tools and blades.
Do I need a mat?
Only for regular materials. Smart Materials feed through mat-free, and mats are still needed for cardstock, fabric and small pieces.
Does it work without the internet?
Design Space needs an internet connection for setup and most design work. Plan on a computer or mobile device with Bluetooth and high-speed internet.
What comes in the box?
The machine, a fine-point blade and housing, a pen, a light-grip mat, sample materials, and 40 digital images plus 2 fonts in Design Space.
Can it cut fabric and leather?
Yes, with the rotary blade for fabric and the knife blade for leather and thicker materials. Both tools are sold separately.
