CraftROBO/Silhouette Digital Craft Cutting Machine,
I purchased the Silhouette SD after reading reviews for many similar products. I chose it because it appeared to be the best priced product that would suit my needs. I wanted to use it for paper art and book making. This is my first experience with digital cutters. I was hopeful, but based on the reviews I had read I was afraid that I would have trouble getting it to work with my computer, etc. As it turned out I had no problems whatsoever. I took it out of the box, designed a piece, and had it cut out within 3 hours. The machine has exceeded my expectations in every way. I had no problem getting it to work with my laptop. The drawing program that comes with the machine is much better than I expected. I did go ahead and purchase an older copy of Corel Draw so that I could make my own designs more easily. I downloaded the plug in for it and it cuts beautifully from Corel! I’m very pleased. I do think that a person needs to have a fair amount of computer savvy to be comfortable setting up and using the machine. Also, if you have never used a computer drawing program, the drawing aspect will take some practice. On a scale of 0-10, 0 being computer dummy and 10 being total techno-geek, I consider myself about 6.

|Outstanding digital printer,
The ROBO/Silhouette does an excellent job of cutting out patterns, both homemade and downloaded/purchased. It took me a minute or two to figure out the “getting a paper registered” with the optical sensor on the head, and which blade to use, but that’s it. It’s made life so much simpler for me; I generate a lot of gaming terrain and moveable book material, so it’s tremendously efficient in the hardest area for me: cutting complex curves.
The software makes it easy to create your own designs, or to outline items you scan in (like a photo of your family, and you want to make a pop-up). There’s also lots of patterns (GSD files are what this takes, fairly popular format) free and purchasable on the internet.
I definitely recommend this digital cutter; it does amazing work!
thx,
Hubcap

|LOVE THIS LITTLE CUTTER..,
i had been looking for something to cut paper, stickers, transfers etc.. digitally and this product does it perfectly!!
the software that comes with it (i use it on mac) is very easy to use and simple to either purhcase / create your own cutting images. i’ve created loads already either by importing a picture i want to copy and tracing it, or by simply making it up.
typing words to make signs works extremely well. simply select the font, type whatever you like.. and print / cut.
Right now i use it to make some wooden signs (i’ll try to upload the results) but it works perfectly – extremely happy.
if you need to cut out intricate detail from paper or other thin material – this is absolutely for you. highly recommended.
