Overview & Features
The Silhouette CAMEO5α PLUS (Alpha) scales the trusted CAMEO platform to a 15-inch format while preserving pro-grade accuracy. A refined chassis and four-point registration deliver cleaner Print & Cut results, while Intelligent Path Technology (IPT) optimizes cut order for smoother, tension-free passes—especially on intricate and multi-layer jobs. Quiet operation, an emergency stop, and a front auto crosscutter streamline real-world workflows. USB and Bluetooth® are built in.
