Cutting Machines

Ideal for smaller design projects CHPL's cutting machines can cut a variety of materials including vinyl and cardstock. Design your own shapes, or use pre-designed ones. Cut out vinyl decals, customize apparel, or make stickers.

Visit the Downtown Main Library to use a Cricut Maker 3 and the Loveland and St. Bernard branches to use a Silhouette Cameo Machine. Visit the Madisonville Branch to use the Silhouette Cameo 4 Pro machine.

Features

• Images can be imported in other formats (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, and GIF), traced over with the system’s designer studio software, and then cut.
• The machine can cut: paper, cardstock, adhesive cardstock, adhesive vinyl, fabric, heat-transfer material (e.g., designs that you could iron on cloth), printable heat-transfer material, rhinestone templates, temporary tattoo paper, vellum, and magnetic paper.
• The machine can cut materials sized as large as 12 inches by 12 inches.
• This machine cannot print on any materials.

What You'll Need
