Brother SDX1200 Hobbyplotter with Scan, Multicolour, 56 x 26 x 26

Product Information

As we’re sure we already made you aware, there’s no such thing as a perfect cutting machine. In fact, all of them have flaws, and it’s only a matter of preferences and what features you can compromise on that decides which cutting machine can meet your requirements best. Whether you’re an advanced crafter or a beginner, you’ll find that Cricut Maker can fit your needs just as well Yes, unlike the Cricut range of digital craft machines you can design projects directly in a ScanNCut machine using the LCD touchscreen and stylus 'touch pen'. It works really well, and despite the 5-inch screen's size I find it very easy to manipulate shapes and weld into new patterns in the machine's app. What does a Brother ScanNCut do?

Suited to beginner and intermediate crafters, this scanner is still incredibly impressive and accurate with its abilities. It's worth knowing that this model is not compatible with several add-on kits, such as the calligraphy or roll feeder, but if you want to make some simple designs at home, you're likely to have everything you need here. Note that you can also extend the Cricut Maker 3’s cutting size, but the good news is that you’ll still have the standard 12 x 24 inches cutting size available to you. For once, you can use Smart Materials in your crafts, which will allow you to perform cuts up to 12 feet in one go (yes, 12 feet). Each model comes with slightly different features, from the size it's able to cut, to its abilities to work on different projects, such as embroidery. All ScanNCut DX models are compatible with the included Auto Blade attachment, so you don’t need to fiddle about with attachments to get cutting. What are Brother ScanNCut machines used for?

Scan virtually anything – a handmade drawing, a magazine clipping, cherished photos and more – create endless cut and draw designs and save to the machine’s memory.

Here’s something that has to do more with the machines’ actual capabilities and not with their designs: their strength or cutting power. Now, this may not look like a fair fight, considering that there’s a huge difference in cutting power between the two.

ScanNCut SDX1200

But the ScanNCut CM300 does still feature a built-in scanner (300dpi not 600dpi like the SDX models) and a CPU controlled via a LCD touchscreen (though smaller than Brother's most costly models). It means you get the same scan-to-cut process that makes these Brother machines so useful, along with 600 built-in designs (including 100 quilt patterns) and five fonts. Obviously, the best Cricut machine you can buy at the time being is the flagship model, Cricut Maker 3. It has everything you need to get started, features a huge cutting force of 4000g, has a 2x speed boost, is silent, and its accessories are among the cheapest ones on the market.
