Silhouette CAMEO5α, White

The Silhouette CAMEO5α sets new standards in the field of desktop cutting plotters. With enhanced stability, intelligent technology and broad material compatibility, it’s the perfect tool for anyone who values precise, clean cuts – from hobbyists to professional creatives!

CAMEO5α vs. CAMEO5α PLUS

Both the Silhouette CAMEO5α and the CAMEO5α PLUS offer the highest precision, intelligent cutting technologies, and compatibility with a wide range of tools. The key difference lies in the material width: while the CAMEO5α processes materials from 5 to 12 inches, the CAMEO5α PLUS extends this range to up to 15 inches – ideal for larger designs such as wall decorations or extensive cutting projects. If you mostly work with compact formats, the CAMEO5α is perfectly suited, while the PLUS offers more freedom for large-scale projects!

Ultimate Cutting Precision

Thanks to its stable machine architecture, the CAMEO5α delivers extremely accurate results – even at high speeds of up to 400 mm/s. The new four-point registration system ensures precise Print & Cut results by correcting print distortions both vertically and horizontally. A belt-driven system minimises deviations and vibrations, enabling even fine details to be executed with precision.

Greater Material Variety

With the electrostatic cutting mat, even ultra-thin materials such as tracing paper or decoupage paper can be fixed in place without adhesive – no tearing, no warping. At the same time, the CAMEO5α supports material widths from 5 to 12 inches, allowing you to realise projects from small cards to decorative wall art with ease.

Intelligent Cutting Technology

The Intelligent Path Technology (IPT) optimises the cutting path to prevent material tension and, with Predictive Cut, ensures clean, sharp edges even on sharp angles – without fraying.

Diverse Tool Options

The Power Carriage lets you use specialist tools such as the Heat Pen, Embossing Tool or Pen Holder. This opens up new creative possibilities – from engraving and foil effects to personalised lettering.

Enhanced User Experience

The CAMEO5α has been designed for even more intuitive operation:

• Newly designed pinch rollers – easier to adjust and with better visibility of material and positioning,
• new Fast Sketch Mode – significantly reduces drawing time,
• automatic crosscutter – for convenient trimming and front-loading,
• Repeat Job function – repeat the last job at the touch of a button,
• quiet operation – allowing you to work even at night or in shared spaces,
• emergency stop function – immediately stops the job if something goes wrong, without needing to turn off the machine.
