CURIO 2

Limitless Perfection

The CURIO 2 is a next-generation precision machine designed to expand what creators can achieve.
Its 30.5 × 30.5 cm (12 × 12 in.) flatbed and 20 mm of vertical clearance allow for thicker materials and more advanced projects. With an Electrostatic Bed and power-tool compatibility, it handles materials other machines cannot—making it ideal for detailed crafting and engraving, with quality that meets everyone’s expectations.

Elevated Functionality

Designed for Creative Freedom

The flatbed system provides stable material support throughout cutting and processing. With 20 mm of vertical clearance, the CURIO 2 accommodates thicker materials such as acrylic, leather, foam, wood veneer, and metal plates—projects that standard roll-fed cutting machines simply cannot handle.

Heat Foiling

The Heat Pen* allows you to create detailed foil stamped designs on cardstock and faux leather using heat, resulting in a more durable and elegant finish than traditional foiling methods.

Quick Comparison Silhouette CAMEO 5α Silhouette CAMEO 5 Silhouette CAMEO 5α PLUS Silhouette CAMEO 5 PLUS Silhouette CAMEO PRO MK-II Silhouette Portrait 4 Silhouette CURIO 2
Best for Hobby users who want a compact, fast, and affordable machine for creative projects (vinyl, stickers, HTV). All-round creators who want versatility across many materials (paper, vinyl, textiles) with strong precision and modern features. Users needing extra width without going pro— ideal for larger designs (signage, bigger apparel prints) but still hobby-friendly. Advanced hobbyists who want larger cutting width and speed for frequent production work. Small businesses— best for wide-format cutting and high-volume jobs. Beginners with small spaces — perfect for stickers, labels, and smaller papercraft. Makers doing more than just cutting — best for specialty crafting (engraving, etching, leather punching/carving, heat foiling and embossing on thick materials).
