Cuts vinyl, cardstock, paper, some types of fabric and many more.

Self-adjusting blade and automatic tool detection.
Maximum cutting dimensions: 20.3 x 30 cm (with mat) and 20.3 cm x 3 m (without mat)
More information about the Silhouette Portrait 3 vinyl cutter
This plotter differs mainly from the Portrait 2 because it includes: (1) a 1-click self-adjusting blade (Autoblade); and (2) an automatic tool-detection mechanism. That way, the blade is easy to adjust and set up.
Also new is that it includes pop-out cut technology, which allows you to cut paper and cardstock without the need for a cutting mat (Matless Cutting Function).
Key features from its previous model are maintained. Among other things, the Portrait 3 cuts up to 2 mm-thick materials, is equipped with an optical sensor for Print & Cut jobs and with Bluetooth® technology to manage the files wirelessly.
Easy to use and set up. No special tools nor prior skills are required.
Perfect to use at home, stores and in tight workspaces.
Suitable to cut and die-cut letters and designs from a wide range of materials: vinyl, cardstock, fabric transfer, paper, materials for templates, and more.
Highly versatile. You can work on projects with dimensions up to 20.3 x 3 m without the need of a cutting mat.
For optimal results, we recommend the use of a Roll Feeder to cut materials over 18.3 cm long.
If you replace the blade by a pen, it becomes possible to draw on the support instead of cutting it. Suitable for A4 and US letter sizes.
Can cut around previously printed designs (Print & Cut function). Perfect for T-shirt designers that work with transfer paper and printable vinyl. Can also be used to make stickers or decals.
Compatible with tools marked with the number 1.
Free Silhouette Studio® Software with a multitude of functions for cutting and creating custom designs. Among those functions, it will automatically set up and adjust the blade with appropriate cutting parameters according to selected materials.
You can send the files from the software to the Portrait 3 with a USB cable, Bluetooth® or with an SD card.
Includes 1 blue adapter to use Silhouette sketch pens. Compatible tools and additional blade adapters must be purchased separately.
In Related Products, you will find adapters for Portrait 3 compatible blades, as well as other tools for you to enjoy this vinyl cutter fully.
