ABOUT THE CRICUT SMART MATERIALS & MATLESS CUTTING

Cricut smart materials are specially designed to cut without needing a mat. However, this is not the first time Cricut has come with matless cutting; it was introduced back in Cricut Joy in 2020, and now it is continued in Cricut Maker 3 and the Cricut Explorer 3. Although Cricut users have discovered many hacks to cut vinyl without needing a mat, because the Cricut Design Space has the highest material size of “12 x 24 inches,” the cutting space is limited. But now, these latest models have also solved this limitation.
