We would like to thank you for your interest and inquiries regarding the Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter™. Provo Craft recognizes the importance of creating innovative products that allow you to express yourself in creative new ways. It has come to our attention that a recent message board posting has generated interest regarding the future development of the Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter™. In an effort to maintain Cricut’s market leadership and innovation, there are certain details regarding new product development that Provo Craft is unable to disclose. Please be assured that Provo Craft will continue to support the current model of the Cricut® machine while we build and expand upon all the creative and innovative options that are available.

We realize Cricut® cartridge content is critical to creativity and expression.

Therefore, it is our intent to maintain cartridge compatibility with future Cricut® products.

In addition to further Cricut® machine development, there have also been many inquiries regarding the USB port on the back of the Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter®. Please be advised that the USB port currently allows our service center and engineers to test and update the machine. We know that there has been much speculation and anticipation regarding the future use of this USB port and the possible connection to your personal computer. Provo Craft and its development team have spent much time considering the feasibility and the benefits to you, our customer, should we decide to pursue a PC solution for the Cricut®. At this time, however, we cannot confirm any connectivity capabilities between the Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter™ and your PC.
