Meet the Cricut Maker 4 in the Ignite Maker Lab

Cricut Maker 4

 

Introducing the Ignite Maker Lab Cricut Maker 4! This new model of Cricut has all the same cutting capabilities as previous models, but with a new generation motor that makes it up to 2x faster than other die-cutting machines. The machine also has a more powerful cutting pressure, making it suitable for even more materials than before.

The Cricut Maker can cut over 300 different materials from balsa wood to leather to cardstock. The machine is most known for its vinyl cutting capabilities but its functionality goes far beyond simply cutting. The Cricut Maker can score, draw, deboss, engrave, foil, perforate, and more.  This multi-tool crafting machine can bring all your DIY projects to life! 

WHAT MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED? 

The Ignite Maker Lab makes available 12” x 15” sheets of heat transfer vinyl for $1.60 per sheet. You are encouraged to bring in your own materials such as cardstock, garment blanks, or your own vinyl to use with the machine. All Cricut mats and cutting supplies are provided in-studio, including a large selection of Cricut pens for writing and drawing.
