Introduction

Cricut Explore Air is a die-cutting machine by Cricut (aka craft plotter or cutting machine). It's similar to a printer in that you generate an image or design on your computer and then transmit it to the machine to print. Except the Cricut machine doesn't print your design; instead, it cuts it out of any material you desire! Paper, vinyl, fabric, craft foam, sticker paper, fake leather, and more can all be cut with the Cricut Explore Air! In fact, if you want to utilise your Cricut as a printer! You just have insert a marker into an accessory slot on the machine and then have the Cricut draw your design for you. It's ideal for creating a beautiful handmade look if your handwriting isn't particularly good.

The Explore line of Cricut machines permits you to access a vast digital library of cartridges. This signifies you may utilize Cricut Design Space (the company's online design programme) to transmit any form or word from the library to your Cricut. You can even submit your own designs!

The Cricut Explore Air presents a tiny cutting blade located within the machine that can cut materials up to 12 inches wide. You charge the material onto a sticky pad and place it in the machine then cut. While the Cricut blade goes over the material and cuts it, the mat keeps it in place. When it's done, remove the mat from the machine, pull your product away from the adhesive mat, and you're good to go!
