Cricut Maker 3 is the latest model in the Maker series, offering more speed, power, and material compatibility than previous versions. It supports cutting, engraving, writing, and scoring on over 300 different materials, ranging from lightweight paper to thick leather and balsa wood. The Maker 3 is also compatible with Smart Materials, which allows for matless cutting of up to 12 feet in length, making it the perfect machine for both small projects and large-scale crafting.
