Design technology company Cricut has released the Cricut Explore. The Cricut Explore is a machine that can cut designs from various crafting materials. You can cut designs from paper, chipboard, iron-ons, vinyl, felt and leather. Ashish Arora is Cricut’s CEO and she has said that "We are driven by the philosophy: How do we get from inspiration to creation?"
The Cricut Explore is sleek in design and it is shaped just like a printer. Once opened, there is a cutting module that reminds you of a Inkjet nozzle. Instead of ink, there is a small precision-cutting blade that creates all the designs. The cutting module also can use a marker or scoring tip if you want to add a design to already existing artwork. So now all those interesting and fun designs on Pinterest can be made by anyone.
