How Do You Cut Chipboard With Cricut Explore Air?

Cutting chipboard with a Cricut Explore Air is a great way to make custom projects and decorations. Chipboard is a thick cardboard material that is perfect for making 3D projects, cardstock, and more. It can be difficult to cut chipboard with regular scissors or even an X-Acto knife, so using a Cricut Explore Air is the perfect solution. Here’s how you can cut chipboard with your Cricut Explore Air:

First, you’ll need to prepare your chipboard for cutting. Make sure it’s smooth and free of any debris or dirt that could interfere with the cutting process. Once your chipboard is ready, place it onto the StandardGrip mat that comes with your Cricut Explore Air.

Next, open the Design Space software on your computer or mobile device.

You can find various designs and images in the library, or you can upload your own image file using either JPG, SVG or PNG format. Select the image and size it according to your project needs.

Once you have selected your image, select ‘Make It’ in the upper right corner of Design Space. The next screen will ask what type of material you are cutting – select ‘Chipboard’ from the list of options.

Once you have selected ‘Chipboard’ as the material type, click ‘Continue’ in the lower right corner of Design Space. The next screen will ask you to choose what kind of blade and pen settings you want to use for cutting – select ‘Chipboard Blade + Chipboard Pen’ from the list of options.

Once all settings are selected, click ‘Go’ at the bottom right corner of Design Space. The Cricut Explore Air will start cutting out your design on the chipboard according to your settings.

Conclusion:

Cutting chipboard with a Cricut Explore Air is easy and convenient once you know how to do it properly. With just a few steps, you can create unique 3D projects and decorations with ease!
