One key design difference is the Silhouette lacks a docking station to support a smartphone or tablet, which is something you'll make good use of with a Cricut given its Bluetooth functions.
The rear-mounted touch-screen on the cameo 4 is a nice touch, but Cricut's close app-integration ensures such a thing is not needed. Silhouette is angular, aggressive and sharp. Cricut's design is Apple-like, smooth and welcoming. It's the more attractive design, but that doesn't mean it's better. If we had to pick between Cricut vs Silhouette purely based on looks, we'd go with the Cricut Maker 3 every time. The Cricut Roll Holder is sold separately but greatly extends the vinyl cutting length (Image credit: Cricut) You can pick from three colours with the Cameo 4: pink, black, and white.
Out of the box the Cameo 4 can cut 100 materials, which is fewer than Maker 3's 300+ (though all the main materials you will need to cut are supported). There's a handy Tool Detection gadget that scans the tool in the Cameo 4 and adjusts the software settings to best suit your setup. The Cameo 4 is a more hands-on machine than the Maker 3, with more buttons and manual controls (Maker 3's are all handled automatically or in-app). The control panel is sleek and backlit, and there is even a built-in cross-cutter to give the edge of your vinyl a straight, clean edge. As with Maker 3 these lengths are only for vinyl cutting. As standard the Cameo 4 can cut to 10ft without using a guide mat, with the roll-feeder attached this can go up to 140ft. It's got a classic 12-inch cutting width and 3mm clearance. The Silhouette Cameo 4 is the mightiest of Silhouette's cutting machines. Part of Cricut's success comes from its wealth of supporting products. Alternative cutting blades, drawing and pen accessories, materials, and even the popular Easy Press 2 and Mug Press will enable you to do more with Maker 3. The more you want to do with a Maker 3 the more additional attachments and accessories you'll need. Engraving and embossing can be achieved, and it can perform delicate pen work. The machine's cutting pressure ensures it can slice through most materials from paper to wood and even leather. The clearance is 2.4mm, which is plenty for most materials.
With a Roll Holder this can go to 75ft, but only using black or white Smart Materials.
A souped-up version of the Cricut Maker, it's got the added functions of mat-free cutting thanks to its compatibility with Cricut Smart Materials.Īs it uses Cricut Smart Materials, the Cricut Maker 3's cutting space can cut continuously for up to 12ft. The Cricut Maker 3 is Cricut's latest cutting machine.
