Equipment
The Cameo 4 has the ability to cut vinyl stickers, iron-on heat transfers, cardstock, chipboard, stencils, fabric, and more. It has a 12” x 12” and 12” x 24” cutting mat and can draw designs with a pen along with its cutting capabilities.
It also connects to a computer, allowing freedom to download designs from the internet or create one’s own designs with the included Silhouette software or other scalable vector graphics (SVG) software such as Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, or CorelDRAW.
The Silhouette Cameo is free to use. You may bring in your own materials (subject to approval by a library staff member) or a variety of materials may be purchased in The Hub at the time of use.
