Technical specifications
- Cricut Joy Xtra™ Models: JCTR201C
- Description: The Cricut Joy Xtra is a desktop cutting and writing device for helping Do It Yourself (DIY) crafters make crafting projects. It takes images created in a software design environment (Cricut Design Space) and recreates the images in paper, vinyl, etc. using tools to cut and write on these materials.
- The mechanical design is like that of a small desktop printer or plotter with an electrically driven head that moves the cutting/drawing tools laterally, and feed rollers that move the crafting materials longitudinally. The combination of these movements gives 2-axis motion to perform the desired actions (cutting, drawing, etc.) on the crafting materials in a 2-dimensional plane.
