Cricut Machines

You will be using two different Cricut machines for this T-Shirt custom design project. These are the Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut EasyPress 2. Both machines available to use for free at the Progress Library

Here's a brief overview the machines, and how they work.  

Firstly, you will use the Cricut Maker 3. This a cutting machine that cuts a variety of materials. Here's a list of suitable materials. 

The machine cuts the designs you create, find or upload on Cricut's free software application called Design Space. To instruct the machine for cutting, you need to install Design Space onto a laptop or tablet; then connect these devices to the machine using a USB cable or via Bluetooth. 



Then you will use the Cricut EasyPress 3, which is a simple to use, lightweight and portable heat press machine that imprints designs on many base materials, like a T-Shirt. 

Let's get a closer look at the Cricut Machines and their controls:
