Silhouette Debut in the MakerSpace

Gradually, we have been adding components to the Mepham MakerSpace. Our newest addition is the Silhouette CAMEO®, which is an electronic cutting machine. It is plugged into one of our computers via USB. It uses a small blade to cut paper, card stock, vinyl, fabric, and other material up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long.

The Silhouette CAMEO® bundle that we have contains the following:

• 12-inch cutting mat
• Cutting blade
• Spatula
• Hook
• Scraper
• Black & White Sketch Pens
• Cross cutter

What types of projects can I do using the Silhouette CAMEO®? The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. But here are a few that we think you may like:

• Bookmarks
• Campaign pins (for class officer elections and the PIG Presidential Election) 
• Posters and flyers for various club and sporting events
• 3D prototypes (Introduction to Science Research)
• Vinyl decals 
• Stickers
• Labels
• Stencils
• Bulletin boards
• Tickets
