What is New in the Cricut Venture?
The obvious thing you will notice about this machine is that it is much larger than the Cricut or large cutter. Also, as it is pretty big, it will take up quite a bit of space, so you need to have enough space to use it. Additionally, the machine weighs up to 35 pounds with dimensions of 8.81×34.84×10.4 inches. Now, let us look at each of the features one by one.
Space-Saving Design
Even though the Cricut Venture is huge and bulky, the machine’s innovative design helps save space. It is because the machine comes tilted with an angle of 45 degrees, so there is no need to dedicate a complete room for the machine. It makes the machine pack into a huge work area and takes less space than you think.
Further, you can use materials 13 inches or 25 inches wide, with or without a mat. If you set this machine parallel to your work surface, you need at least 3 feet of clear space at the front and behind the machine. However, since the mat feeds the materials at a 45-degree angle, the machine can sit at the edge of the table or slab.
Enhanced Loading For Material
The new Cricut Venture has a lever that secures the project on an angle. Also, The machine measures the materials with its new and improved sensors. Further, the mat guides help with different project widths. The new vacuum mat stop system keeps everything moving smoothly, even using 75-inch vinyl material.
Additionally, the Venture machine is wider compared to previous models, and it is because of the larger material options. So due to that, you need to ensure enough room at the sides of the machine.
Docking Station
This machine’s Docking station perfectly fits and has a docking feature so that the Cricut Venture will stay safe and secure. Also, the docking station comes with easy glide wheels that lock storage hooks for your mats.
Further, one of the best parts of the docking system is the static dissipative catch baskets. These baskets are at the front and back of the docking system and help hold vinyl off the floor.
Fastest Ever
The Venture machine is, at present, the fastest Cricut machine ever. The machine is the best machine for small business crafters to create projects in less time. With its cut, draw, score, and foil functions, you will complete the projects in record time. The Cricut Venture can also undertake huge Print and Cut designs perfectly.
Further, the machine can cut up to 100+ different materials, and it cuts material at a speed of about 25 inches per second! The machine can cut up to 75 repeated single images or a single image up to 12 feet. So, it is safe to say that you can work on large projects.
