Cricut Maker 4
The Cricut machine can cut, write, draw, engrave, and emboss with precision. It works with 300+ materials, including popular materials like vinyl, iron-on & cardstock — plus leather, matboard & more
You can upload your design to the Cricut Design Space software, print it out on the university printers, and use its preset guide marks to intricately cut your design out.
If you want to use this machine, you will need to have a brief induction with a technician. They will talk you through the Design Space software located in the lab.

Don’t double-sided print – The printer never aligns. Print the front and backs separately then glue them together with a glue stick
Use MAX 250gsm paper in the printer via the bypass tray – Any thicker and you will likely get paper jams
