About
The Cricut is a 2D paper cutter capable of cutting out precise designs with high accuracy. It is capable of cutting thin plastics, vinyl, cardstock, paper, and a whole lot else. The Cricut is located in the corner of the 3430 across from the hotpress and keyence microscope. A thin layer of material is attached to the sticky mat and fed through the Cricut, which cuts out any 2D shape desired.
The Brother is able to cut materials up to 3 mm in thickness.
Safety Concerns
The Brother cutter uses a shielded razorblade to make cuts on the sticky mat. Care should be taken when replacing of switching the cutting head as it is incredibly sharp. Fingers should also be kept clear of the rollers when it is operating to avoid pinching.
