What is the Newest Silhouette Machine? [2025 Guide]

When you invest a bit of money into craft tools and supplies, you want to ensure that you purchase the newest and latest, especially when buying something that focuses on technology.

So, what is the newest silhouette machine 2025 has to offer? Here is your answer!

Let's dive right into our topic for the day. I will also provide you with a super quick summary of the latest Silhouette Machine.

What is the Newest Silhouette Machine 2025

Find the information below on the new Silhouette machine and the newest Silhouette products.

What is the Newest Silhouette Cameo machine?

The latest cutting machine is the Silhouette Cameo 5 (12″ cutter).

Before this, the Cameo 4 (12″ cutter), Cameo 4 Plus (15″ cutters), and Cameo 4 Pro (20″ cutter) were Silhouette's newest craft machines for DIY projects.

Essentially all these machines are exactly the same except for their cutting width ability.

So if you are a hobby crafter you will most likely only need the standard 12″ Cameo 5 cutter, whilst those selling items might want to upgrade to the 15″ or 20″ machine.

The Cameo 5 was released in the fall of 2023, and the Cameo Pro was released in late 2020.

The Silhouette cutting machine has a range of brilliant features and can cut over 100+ different types of materials.

Depending on which machine you choose, it can be available in 3 different colors.

You can either buy the stand-alone cutter, or you might wish to save some money by grabbing one of the great value Silhouette Cameo 5 bundles.

This machine is well-priced and offers incredible specs!

Newest Silhouette Portrait Cutter

The Portrait cutter received a lovely and much-needed update. The Portrait 3 was released in August 2020.

Essentially this cutter is a mini Cameo. It has been designed to be smaller and more portable. So if space is limited or if you craft away from home a lot then this is the cutter for you.

The machine can cut up to 8″ wide (the Cameo 4 can do 12″). But what we love is that it can still cut on a mat up to 12″ in length and if you don't use a mat at all, it can cut up to 60 feet long! Holy cow!

It uses the same software as the Cameo 4 and has the same functionality including Print and Cut, Pixscan, sketching, and of course cutting. You can pick this machine up for around $199 in comparison to the higher price tag of around $299 for the Cameo 4.

Newest Silhouette Printer

The only notable release by Silhouette in 2019 was the 3D Printer: 3D Alta Plus Printer. This printer is pretty futuristic! The Silhouette Alta Plus is a 3D desktop printer, so gone are the days of printing on paper, now you can print 3D vases and so much more!!

Silhouette Cameo 5 Review

Here is a quick unboxing video by Silhouette so that you can see this gorgeous new machine in action.

The Silhouette Cameo 5 is a strong contender to the Cricut Maker 3 cutting machine and deserves its place as one of the ultimate DIY cutting machines on the market.

The Cameo Silhouette 5 includes all of our favorite features of the Cameo 4. It has a whopping 5,000gr cutting pressure and cuts at a speed of 400 mm/s.

The Cameo 5 Silhouette has the ability to draw and cut on over 100 different types of material. It comes standard with a built in vinyl trimmer and roll holder.

It comes in the standard 12″ cutter width size and has the ability to work with material that is up to a crazy 16 feet long. And we love the fact that it can cut materials without the need for a cutting mat just like the Cameo 4!

We love our Cameo 5 and it is one of the best-selling machines from our affiliate links on our website as well.

We love this machine and truly believe that it is a brilliant buy! It is much cheaper than the Cricut Maker 3 (which is fabulous for fabric but offers very similar capabilities).
