Rethink the possibilities
The Curio is more than a cutting machine—it’s where precision engineering meets cutting edge innovation. Curio allows you to harness the power of five stunning, creative functions.
Double your creativity
Like to multi-task? So does the Curio. Complete two tasks in one pass with its dual carriage. Just mix and match with our full selection of blades, pens, and specialty tools.
Curio raised the bar. Literally.
More clearance means more options. The Curio’s 5mm clearance allows you to etch, sketch, or cut on new project palettes. Think wood, foil, leather, foam, and even metal.
Adjustable base
Part of what makes the Curio compatible with thicker materials is its adjustable base with removable platforms. Just add or remove platforms to accommodate different material.
Deeper cuts
The Curio’s deep-cut blade allows for your deepest cuts yet. Its sintered tungsten alloy is composed of super fine powder for extra durability.
Make your mark
Create beautifully etched metal with the Curio’s etching tool to customize jewelry, charms, home décor, mixed media art, and more.
The Silhouette Curio™ hobby machine is the perfect complement to Silhouette’s other cutting tools. Simply connect the Curio to your PC or Mac with the included USB cable and use the included software, Silhouette Studio®, to design your project. Then send your project to the Curio to put your signature style on countless DIY projects. Curio is the perfect machine for DIYers that love to diversify their creativity.
With Curio you can:
- Create beautifully etched metal (stippling/etching tool sold separately)
- Embellish foils and metals with unique stipple patterns (stippling/etching tool sold separately)
- Sketch intricate, multi-colour designs
- Create one-of-a-kind stippled ink projects (sketch pens and felt tip pens sold separately)
- Cut custom designs out of paper, card stock, vellum, vinyl, fabric, stencil material and more
- Cut or sketch fonts already installed on your computer
- Add embossing or debossing textures to soft papers, vellum and other delicate materials
- Use unique materials as project surfaces such as woods, canvas, metals, and more
- Register and cut printed materials (Print & Cut feature)
Curio is driven by powerful Silhouette Studio® software as well as the Silhouette Design Store, a marketplace of over 70,000 ready-made designs available for purchase. Find the perfect design, resize and customize the design for your project, or design your own from scratch using hundreds of design tools in the powerful Silhouette Studio® software.
The Curio is the only machine that can unlock the stippling, etching, debossing, embossing and dual carriage features in Silhouette Studio® design software.

That is a wonderful machine
Hi
What’s the price of the curio and is it available in Cape Town?
Good Day Mia,
We do not have a confirmed recommended retail price yet. We’ll only have confirmation of this once the Curio lands on our shores which will be in the next couple of months.
Apologies I am not able to give you a 100% clear answer, yet, but please watch this space for updates.

Thank you
it is available vir Scrap a Doodles and retails at R4500, it is a great machine, only like everthing it does not come with all the cutting or itching blades and not available here in South Africa at the moment, so all the fun is really taken out of having the machine as it cannot do much except emboss and cut, so sad!!!!!

Hi, would I be able to cut out a pattern on a gumboot with a Silhouette Curio or any of the other Silhouette products?
Hello Amanda,
To be honest I have not heard of anyone cutting a gumboot :)
However, you are welcome to take a look at this page where Silhouette speak about their different cutting materials » https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/faq/solution/materials-silhouette-can-cut
The DEEP CUT Blade (https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/SILH-BLADE-DEEP) can cu materials up to 2mm.
Not sure if that helps.
Hi there, how much does your Silhouette curio machine cost?
Do you also supply the vinyl used by the machine?
Kind regards
Leanie
Hello Leanie,
We do not import the Curio anymore.
I would recommend that you take a look at the new Silhouette CAMEO 3 : http://www.thewholesaler.biz/blog/silhouette-cameo-3-in-south-africa/
Yes we do carry the vinyl and a host of other Silhouette consumables, please take a look here : http://bit.ly/Silhouette-SA
I hope this helps somewhat.
I am looking to purchase the Silhouette Curio. Do you have stock?
Thank you to please let me know.
