The best Cricut alternatives

alternatives or Cricut dupes, the choice is more varied than ever. While Brother and Silhouette of America offer cutting machines comparable to Cricut's, the newer brands xTools and Glowforge have added laser cutters to the mix. All of these can be alternatives to theWe've tested and reviewed a wide range of craft machines, including all of Cricut's own main offerings, so we know how they compare.

At a fraction of the cost of a Glowforge but more expensive than a Cricut Maker 3, the xTool M1 is a nice mid-way craft machine that can deliver for a greater variety of projects than Cricut. It's an excellent hybrid option and easily one of the best Cricut alternatives for those who need more versatility in terms of materials.We think this is the best cheaper alternative to Cricut Maker. There are plenty of similarities between to two machines.

The laser is more powerful than that of the xTool M1 at number 1 on our list, and we found that the simple, elegant design sets it aside from other laser cutters. Like Cricut, it's simple to use. You just drag and drop your design files into the Glowforge app, align the material in the machine, and press 'Print'. The Glowforge app also contains thousands of pre-made designs. Some of these can be used commercially and adjusted to make them unique.

What makes the ScanNCut SDX125 different from other alternatives is the scanning part. It features a built-in scanner so you can transfer printed pages into real projects. You can send SVG files from your computer, but you can also programme design directly on the machine using the LCD touchscreen display and its 682 built-in designs, including 100 quilting patterns and nine fonts.

However, if you do need a craft cutting machine that can handle large materials, particularly fabrics and heavy paper, I think the Cameo 4 Pro is ideal. Other than the size this model is similar to the smaller Cameo 4 editions; meaning it can trim and cut vinyl, heat transfer material, cardstock, photo paper and fabrics.The Silhouette Mint is designed to digitise the art of ink and paint stamping, and we found that it does that exceptionally well.

I found The Fierton heat press is light, portable and it's suitable for vinyl and textiles like sweatshirts, banners, and T-shirts using thermal transfer and sublimation paper. It's very easy to use. You simply set your preferred time and temperature, then watch it do its thing in under sixty seconds. There's a safety mode and an insulated safety base, and I was able to work for a couple of hours without it getting too hot.
