Some folks up at CCCKC have figured out how to talk to the Cricut over USB. This paves the way to drive the Cricut with a laptop to cut puzzles, engine gaskets, PCBs, and much more. Before this software, crafters were limited to the shapes they could purchase from ProvoCraft.

Cricuts can be upgraded with better knife tools to cut puzzle materials. This same knife can cut gasket material. Also, a small PCB Etch Resistant marker can be installed in the Cricut, and draw on copper clad board.
