About

The Cricut is a 2D paper cutter capable of cutting out precise designs with high accuracy. Capable of cutting thin plastics, vinyl, cardstock, paper, and a whole lot else the Cricut is hooked up to the Carbide computer on the window sill in the Innovation Workshop. A thin layer of material is attached to the sticky mat and fed through the Cricut, which cuts out any 2D shape desired.


Safety Concerns

The Cricut 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 Cricut is operating.
