Introducing Silhouette's brand-new Cameo: Cameo 5α Alpha!

The Silhouette Cameo 5α Alpha boasts real improvements in precision and usability while retaining the best features of the Silhouette Cameo 5.
Fast, accurate and quiet, whether you are a creative hobbyist or an experienced professional, you will enjoy a smooth, refined user experience and exceptional results with this tool, which is perfect for bringing your ideas to life. 

Premium Cut Quality
The Silhouette Cameo 5α Alpha delivers unmatched precision, achieving cutting speeds of up to 400 mm/s and balancing efficiency and accuracy to produce flawless results.

More precise Print & Cut
The upgrade from three to a new four-point registration mark system improves Print & Cut workflows by allowing for vertical and horizontal correction, ensuring clean, reliable cuts for beginners and professionals alike.

Redesigned Rollers
The redesigned pinch rollers also facilitate smoother and more intuitive adjustments, offering improved visibility for precise setup and the flexibility to handle a wider range of material sizes.

Intelligent Path Technology (IPT)
This technology, Predictive Cut Intelligent Path Technology (IPT), optimises the cutting order to prevent stress on the material, enhancing performance on sharp angles and preventing rounded or torn corners. It delivers smoother, cleaner results while saving time and reducing stress on the material.

Fast Sketch Mode
Fast sketch mode allows you to reach speeds of up to 400 mm/s with a pen. Ideal for speeding up projects without losing detail. The silent operation has also been optimised, enabling the machine to be used comfortably in any environment.

Enhanced Electrostatic Mat (EM)
The electrostatic mat capacity has been increased from 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm, allowing it to support a wider range of materials and working with delicate papers such as tracing paper or decoupage without adhesive, preventing curling, tearing, and facilitating weeding. This improvement gives creators greater flexibility and a firmer grip for flawless results.

Steady Clean Cuts
Enjoy unbeatable stability and precision with Silhouette New Architecture, a reliable chassis design and advanced belt-driven system, which is engineered to provide smooth, accurate cuts every time.

More Materials' sizes 
Silhouette Cameo 5α Alpha supports materials from 5” to 12” and can work with roll material, especially when using the new optimised roll feeder and additional support rollers. 
Cameo 5 Alpha delivers a cutting experience that is smoother, safer and more convenient, empowering users to create with confidence anytime and anywhere. This is due to its front automatic crosscutting, one-touch job repeats, ultra-quiet operation and emergency stop feature.

Aesthetics and Usability
The new automatic lid with soft opening provides a more modern appearance. However, functionally, it does not enhance the process. The visual aspect gains ground, but it doesn't always add to productivity.

Unleash Creativity with Silhouette Studio
Powered by Silhouette Studio® 5, your machine unlocks advanced design tools, seamless workflow, and unparalleled creative control—bringing every idea to life with precision and ease.
It now allows you to program cutting settings by colour or layer, organise projects by layers, import and export in multiple formats, and connect better with the cloud and personal libraries.
