Silhouette Cameo™ Electronic Craft Cutter is 20.9" x 5.0" x 6.5" and is smaller than most inkjet printers. It only weighs 11.25 lbs. Don"t be deceived by it"s small size. It can handle media up to 12 inches wide by 12 inches long, with a cutting area of 11.6" inches wide by 10" in extended mode with roll media.What"s Included:

The Silhouette CAMEO® is the ultimate DIY machine. It uses a small blade to cut over 100 materials, including paper, cardstock, vinyl, and fabric up to 12 inches wide. The Cameo has the ability to register and cut printed materials and is PixScan™ compatible. What does this mean for you? It is our machine that has the largest cutting space and is most versatile in the materials it can cut.

The Silhouette CAMEO® 3 was released in August 2016. It has all of the same capabilities as the previous versions along with some added features. This Cameo features a dual carriage so you can use two tools at once, and it features Bluetooth® technology. To top it all off, the Cameo 3 is the only machine compatible with Silhouette’s AutoBlade, a self-adjusting blade.

The Silhouette CAMEO® is your standard in electronic cutting. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac® and a power outlet. Use Silhouette Studio® software on your computer to design and create projects to send to your Cameo. And now that the Cameo has a dual carriage, you can do more than ever.

With the touch screen, you can load your media and access your machine settings. The Cameo 3 is our first machine to feature sounds to help you navigate through the screens. It also provides mini tutorials to help you if you get stuck or have questions about using your machine. Just click the settings icon in the corner of the screen and choose “Tutorial.”

The Cameo 3 has multiple storage compartments. With your lid open, there are places to keep extra blades on the left. On the top rack, you can keep blades, tools, or pens, and the pull-out drawer at the bottom opens for more storage.

By adjusting the white rollers on the main roller shaft, the Silhouette CAMEO® can cut the following media sizes: A4, letter, 12”, 13” (12 in. material on the cutting mat). The spring rollers have been designed for a strong yet gentle way to hold project materials in place.

If you are using a long piece of media, the crosscutter can be very helpful. It is basically a paper-cutter on the back of your machine. The crosscutter lets you separate your finished cut job from the remaining media in one quick stroke. With the crosscutter track attached directly to the back, you will get a perfectly straight edge every time. Then, when you use the remaining media for a different project, your Cameo will load the nice, even edge very easily. If you use rolls of vinyl, the crosscutter will be very helpful.

Cameo 3 features a dual carriage. Are you like us and are a little bit EXCITED about the project possibilities? The tools are marked with little red circle on the left and a blue circle on the right. Insert your tools (such as an AutoBlade and a sketch pen) into the corresponding tool holders assigned in your Send panel. Watch two different tools work in one cut job!

Cameo 3 is Bluetooth® compatible and allows wireless communication. The Silhouette CAMEO® “Bluetooth® Edition” includes a pre-installed adapter. For all other Cameo editions, Bluetooth® is enabled, but you will need to install a Bluetooth® adapter. The Bluetooth® adapter resides in the bottom of the machine in a compartment accessible with a basic screwdriver. Using Bluetooth® technology, your Cameo can receive cut jobs by devices other than your computer. This also means your Cameo will be able to receive cut jobs without being attached to your computer. Use Bluetooth® to get some of those pesky cords out of the way!

The Cameo 3 can stipple using a marker or felt-tip pen. Stippling is the process of making a design using a series of dots. You can turn any design from the Silhouette Design Store or any photo into a stipple design.

The Cameo 3 is able to read barcodes produced in the Registration Marks panel of the Silhouette Studio® software. Accessed through Business Edition, you can use the barcode scanning feature to print a barcode and registration marks onto Print & Cut pages. Then, load your printed page into your Cameo 3 and the optic scanner will read the barcode and access the file, cutting your design without needing the file open on your screen.

Silhouette has lots of blades to choose from, and it can be confusing to know what blade goes with each machine. Find your cutting machine below, and you’ll see a list of blades that you can use in your machine. Click on the blade links to learn what each blade can cut. Feel free to refer back to this page anytime you need to!

The Silhouette Cameo® 4 is the latest series of desktop cutting machines from Silhouette. There are 3 different sizes available: 12 inches (Cameo), 15 inches (Cameo Plus), and 24 inches (Cameo Pro). This machine model has a touch panel for easy navigation, and the dual carriage provides many cutting options.

The Silhouette Portrait® 3 is Silhouette’s choice machine for on-the-go projects. Its size makes it portable, but it also packs quite a cutting punch. It’s perfect for smaller-scale projects, such as card making, custom stickers, small vinyl or heat transfer lettering, and so much more!

The Silhouette Cameo® 3 was released in August 2016. This is the first Silhouette machine compatible with an AutoBlade. It features a dual carriage and can use tools (e.g. a cutting blade and a sketch pen) simultaneously. It also has a touch-screen display for easy navigation and Bluetooth® for wireless cutting.

The Silhouette Portrait® 2 was released in November 2016. This machine can use Silhouette’s AutoBlade and features Bluetooth® for wireless cutting and a higher clearance for cutting thicker materials.

The Silhouette Curio™ was released in 2015 and is perfect for making unique projects. In addition to its cutting capabilities, it can sketch, etch, emboss, deboss, and stipple, making it a one-of-a-kind machine.

Update: The new version of Cameo is out. Find out if it’s the right choice for you by checking out the Silhouette Cameo 4 review. The Cameo 3 has been discontinued.

It’s review time again. And today I will put my magnifying glass on the Silhouette Cameo 3. As you are accustomed, this is not the run-of-the-mill type of review.

Also, in the end, I will do a quick comparison between silhouette cameo 2 vs. 3. Just in case you have already had the silhouette cameo 2 and considering upgrading. Let’s get to it.

What about the hidden Easter egg game in the machine? Sadly it was just a clever prank. A crafter faked the LCD screen to show that he managed to unlock a hidden tic-tac-toe game. I didn’t check the date. Maybe he released the finding on April Fools. Let’s get to more serious manners.

What immediately grabbed my attention was the slick new design. It has much more curvature, and the lines aren’t that straight. Plus the lid covers everything. This is great protection for the LCD screen.

I want to tell you one more thing about the slick design. The LCD blends so effortlessly into the machine; it has almost Apple-like new features (almost that is). Now if you compare it with the Brother Scan and Cut 2 purely on design perspective Cameo is the winner. The Brother machine’s LCD sticks out like a sore thumb.

The Brother cutting machine has some superior features, but aesthetically it’s a looser from my point of view. They could’ve done a better job with that LCD screen.

Cameo 3 has lots of storage space. They went above and beyond with this. Besides the storage space, there are arrows which help you align your mat perfectly. All these minor upgrades help out a lot.

Let’s talk about size. It’s a good 2 inches longer than its little brother.  (Are you interested in how well it is compared to Silhouette Portrait?) So before you buy, to make sure you have enough space to use the machine. The weight isn’t too big because it weighs almost 14 pounds.

There are tutorials to get you started. You can watch these on the LCD screen. Even though these tutorials help, somewhat, there’s a steep learning curve to master.

It has two functions cutting and drawing. By using any ordinary pen, it can draw different patterns and use the fonts in the library. The cutting feature is versatile. Allegedly it can work with 100 different materials. I’m a bit skeptical because it has only 210g cutting power, more on this later.

The Silhouette Cameo 3 machine has a scan and cut feature. This means you can photograph your design / handmade pattern. Upload it to Silhouette Studio Software. Then you can cut the required pattern. It’s simple, and it’s elegant.

With Cameo three, you are turning an analog image/pattern into a digital one. This is saved on your computer and in the future it can be used whenever it’s needed. Are you a fan of custom designs? then look no more because Cameo 3 can help you digitize it and then replicate it with ease.

The Silhouette Cameo three has the cutting force of 210g. For me, this was a disappointment. The company didn’t improve on it. It’s the same as Cameo 2 and most other machines in this category. With 210g you can’t do much. Already there are contenders who have achieved 11x power and only cost a bit more than the Cameo. Hopefully, in the next release, they will boost the cutting power as well.

Let’s talk about cutting size. This is where the Cameo 3 shines. The size is huge. You have two mats to choose from 12 x 12 inch and 12 by 24 inch. Besides this, if you have a roll feeder system, then it can cut up to 10 feet. That’s pretty big. I mean 12 inch by 10 feet that leaves you with a serious commission once the job is done.

One of the crafters has reported that he didn’t manage to utilize the whole 12-inch width. For him, the blade didn’t cut deep enough on the far side. It’s good to keep this in mind. For him, the biggest cutting size he managed to achieve was 8 inches.

Do you believe in love at first sight? I do, and it happened when I learned about the Dual Carriage feature. This means that you can do two tasks at once. Let it be 2 drawings or two cutting, or mixed. The Cameo three can do it.

All you have to is add the two blades/pens into the holsters setup the machine and hit start. This saves you time because you don’t have to babysit the machine and set the second task up. Plus you don’t have to tinker with the Silhouette Studio software this eliminates human error.

One of the main differences between cameo 2 and 3 is increased material height. Now with Cameo 3, you can work with materials that are 2mm thick. This is a great improvement since the last generation.

Cameo 3 needs a constant computer connection. This means next to the Cameo; you need another device as well to work on events. Consider this as well before you attend a fair. There are multiple connection options between the two devices. There’s the usual cord method via USB. And you can use cordlessly via Bluetooth technology.

Let’s take a look at the noise level. There’s no way to sugarcoat it; it’s loud. You won’t be able to work during the evenings unless you are out in the shed or garage. Sadly this has become a feature for the Silhouette family. All of their devices are loud. If you don’t believe me check out YouTube. Though many crafters cut the sound out, so they don’t annoy the viewers, hopefully, by the next launch, they will do some progress in this department as well.

Last but not least we are going to cover the speed of the Cameo 3. Sadly ever since Cricut Maker came out, all the cutting machines on the market look like as if it would be standing still. It has a 2x speed feature which leaves the competition in the dust.

They bolster in their marketing message that it can work with 100+ materials. Hmm, I’m curious how did they count them all up? Like this: white paper, green paper, yellow paper, 50 shades of gray that’s 53 already. It’s clear that the Cameo works best with paper and vinyl. The rest of the materials are hard to work with. You need a lot of patients, and they do a lot of trial and errors.

Or you can purchase the convenient add on which is Silhouette Curio. (If you want to compare Silhouette Curio with Silhouette Cameo 3 check it out). Or maybe you’re open for other brands then you check out the comparison with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

Some call it the ultimate DIY machine. Well, this might’ve been true when the Cameo 3 was released. Since then many new machines came on the market which stole the crown.

This concludes my Silhouette Cameo Review. Below I will talk about some of the reoccurring questions and what’s the difference between cameo two vs. 3. My Silhouette Cameo 3 Review wouldn’t be complete without comparing it with an earlier model.

It’s a monster package it contains 1 Month Free subscription to Silhouette Design Store. (In the Silhouette Design Store you get access to over 100,000 designs)

How did you like this Silhouette Cameo 3 Review? Leave feedback below? If you are interested in more machine reviews browse through my site, there’s plenty to read.

In theory and in their ads yes. In practice you need to do a lot of trial and error to get it right. The machine’s cutting power is only 210g so if you are interesting in leather than you should choose a more powerful machine.

This really depends on what you’re using the machine for. If you are working mainly with soft things than the Cameo will be perfect. But if you want to do embossing and etching than you will need the Curio.

It really depends on your needs. One thing you need to know that it’s much more basic than the Cameo 3. Plus it has a difficult time with thicker materials.

Silhouette America has an excellent support system. Or you can always try blogs and YouTube. For specific questions in mind I would go with Silhouette America.
