help Cricut Explore FAQ

What materials can the Cricut Explore cut?

Cricut Explore 3 is designed to cut more than 100 materials, including vinyl, iron-on, cardstock, and paper. It includes a Fine-Point Blade for common craft materials and can use a Deep-Point Blade for some thicker materials.

Does the Cricut Explore use a rotary blade?

The Explore series is primarily built around the Fine-Point Blade and does not provide the Maker series' Rotary Blade capability. A Cricut Maker is the better fit for projects involving fabric or other materials that require rotary cutting.

Can Cricut Explore 3 cut Smart Materials without a mat?

Explore 3 supports Cricut Smart Materials, which can be used for longer cuts without a standard cutting mat when the material and project settings are compatible. Mat-based cutting remains available for ordinary vinyl, paper, and iron-on.

What software controls a Cricut Explore machine?

Cricut Explore machines are designed to work with Cricut Design Space for preparing and sending projects to the cutter. Design Space handles material settings, blade prompts, project layouts, and compatible ready-made designs.
