Our take on the Maker 3 3D Printer + Complete Materials Bundle – Ready-to-Use Starter Kit

The Cricut Maker 3 is a smart cutting machine that handles over 300 materials, from delicate fabric and paper to chipboard, leather and balsa wood. It cuts up to twice as fast as the previous Maker and works with Smart Materials for mat-free cuts up to 12 ft. It accepts 13 tool types for cutting, scoring, writing, debossing and engraving, and it has about ten times the cutting power of Cricut's Explore machines. This bundle adds a broad set of Smart Materials and tools, so it suits crafters and small businesses who want one machine for many materials and are ready to learn Design Space software.
