Cricut Maker vs Cricut Maker 3 (2023): Cutting Simply Publishes Comparison of Cutting Machines

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cutting Simply, the leading online resource for digital cutting machine enthusiasts, has published their comprehensive comparison of the Cricut Maker and Maker 3 machines. The in-depth review covers all the key features and performance of both machines, as well as their suitability for different types of consumers.

According to Cutting Simply's review, the main difference between the two machines is the addition of Smart Materials to the Cricut Maker 3. This allows for faster cutting speeds and the ability to work mat-free on projects up to 12 feet in length. The Maker 3 is also slightly larger and heavier than the original Maker, and is more expensive.

However, Cutting Simply notes that the Maker 3 is invaluable for crafters looking to get more out of their time and achieve a professional finish. The option to extend materials to 12 feet will significantly reduce time on large projects, making it well worth the investment for those who plan on making the most of Smart Materials.

In terms of other features, both the Cricut Maker and Maker 3 offer 13 attachments, Print Then Cut capability on both white and coloured paper, and the ability to cut over 300 materials. They also both have Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

For those who are new to Cricut and trying to decide which machine is the best, Cutting Simply recommends the Maker 3 as an upgraded version of the original Maker with more access to Cricut's own materials and faster cutting speeds. However, for those who already own the Maker, it may only be worth upgrading to the Maker 3 if they plan on making the most of Smart Materials.

"We're thrilled to bring our readers this comprehensive comparison of the Cricut Maker and Maker 3," said Adam Iverson, editor-in-chief of Cutting Simply. "Our expert team has carefully evaluated all the key features and performance of both machines, and we're confident that our review will help consumers make an informed decision on which one is the best fit for their needs."
