TruLaser Cell 3000



Comments on YouTube are amusing. Everybody wants one. 

There are machines designed for home use that do this with paper. The machines are marketed mostly to women doing crafts at home. The machines keep getting better based on customer feedback. Now the machines are capable of hairline cuts for extremely detailed silhouette cutting involving tens of thousands of cuts on tear proof paper (hospital wristbands). They can cut fabric, cardboard, emboss paper, cut and emboss leather and metal. There are videos for all of that. 

Scores of videos are available on YouTube most are poor quality. Several videos compare brands and this one compares two models of one brand. Of all the comparison videos, the Silver Bullet Professional always wins. The machine is for serious hobbyists. What I've seen, they produce mostly detailed cutout pictures that are used to set against another base of a different color for a silhouetted card.

The machines would be useful if you wanted to do ten or twenty of the same detailed project. It would take a lot of that activity to justify its $1,000.00 cost.
