The Silhouette Portrait 3 is a handy cutting plotter with a width of 203 mm. The Portrait 3 surprised us with its performance and precision—especially in relation to its low price and small dimensions. That is why we can offer and highly recommend this newly improved device for the ambitious hobbiest and the semi-professional user.

Here are the new features:
Portrait 3 automatically recognizes the tool and adapter used. This saves you time and prevents errors, because you no longer have to manually feed the software with the information.

The automatic knife, with even faster setting technology, automatically takes over the value that you have previously set in the Silhouette Studio software before cutting.

With the Silhouette Portrait 3, you have the option of plotting paper without a cutting mat (pop-out cut).

You can wirelessly connect the Silhouette Portrait 3 to the computer via Bluetooth.

Proven functions that have remained:
Inside the Silhouette Portrait 3, two grid rollers are attached to one axis, which transport the inserted medium precisely. The sensor-controlled cutting head, which is navigated through a 3-point registration mark recognition, is guided on another axis. These registration marks can be printed in a previous work step. They guarantee the exact contour of the template. Incidentally, this type of sensor control is otherwise only standard in much more expensive devices.

Print & Cut Technology: The Portrait 3 cutter has a built-in optical sensor to read registration marks. In the Silhouette Studio you can create these registration marks and then print them out. The optical sensor finds the registration marks on your printed motif and Portrait 3 cuts out the contours razor-sharp. This is useful, for example, if you want to create individual stickers, labels or textile transfer designs.

The PixScan technology enables you to use a camera or a scanner to precisely cut contours around a printed design or to place the desired cutting lines on the material. Your smartphone or tablet is also ideal for this. The PixScan algorithm enables Silhouette Portrait 3 to have specially placed registration marks on the PixScan cutting mat. The technology is ideal for saving scanned or photographed designs in your personal digital library or for converting a hand sketch into a new, user-defined cutting file.

The included software Silhouette Studio is the strongest and most powerful design software for hobby cutting systems on the market and offers you functions that are normally only found in high-end design software. Silhouette Studio offers a range of functions for entering text, drawing shapes, importing images and creating outlines, which of course cannot be compared with the capabilities of professional programs such as Illustrator or Corel Draw.

Small downer: The Portrait 3 is by no means quiet and makes clear work noises. You should keep this in mind when using the cutting plotter, e.g., wanting to set up in an open plan office.

Application
The Silhouette Portrait 3 can draw, precisely cut, and perforate paths. These work steps can also be combined so that a cut-out shape can contain drawn, perforated and cut elements. This results in a multitude of fields of application in the areas of handicrafts, model making, packaging design and prototyping, for example:
• Cutting out scanned and / or drawn shapes and images after printing
• Foil lettering down to one size of 5-10 mm font height (when weeding serifs with very small fonts, however, a limit of what is feasible can be felt)
• Labels, greeting, folding, and business cards
• Stencils (stencils, sandblasting foils )
• Facades full of windows in architectural model making
• Silhouette figures made of cardboard
• Templates for textile transfer (flocking)
• Finished handicraft sheets (over 200 templates, especially for handicrafts with children, can can be downloaded from the internet for free)

You can process these materials with Portrait 3: all papers and cardboard up to a grammage of 300 g/m² or 0.5 mm thickness, thin wood veneer (e.g., Decoflex), various self-adhesive and non-self-adhesive plastic films, and much more.
Thanks to the material passage height of 2 mm, you can also make it thicker to use materials—e.g., to draw motifs on foam rubber.

Please note that materials without carrier material or smaller pieces of material that are not captured by the roll transport can be accessed on the cutting underlay with the slightly adhesive surface applied (make preliminary tests with thin, sensitive materials!) For materials with a carrier, such as self-adhesive foils, this is not mandatory. The mat wears out over time and you should replace it after a certain amount of time: Silhouette Portrait cutting mat or Silhouette Portrait PixScan cutting mat.
