A papercraft model comes as a PDF, gets printed and cut out with scissors. On a fifty-piece model, cutting alone takes three to four hours before a single fold is made. A Cricut cutting machine does that work in minutes per sheet, unattended, with a cleaner edge than the best craft knife. On one condition: it must be given a file that tells it where to cut, where to score and where to draw. A PDF does not.<\/p>\n
This page explains what converts, what does not, and the scale trap that ruins almost every first attempt.<\/p>\n
