Precision Cutting Machine for Vinyl, Fabric, Paper & More

The Silhouette CAMEO 5A Matte Black is a powerful cutting machine that makes creative design simple, fast, and precise. Whether you are working on vinyl decals, heat-press transfers, cardstock crafts, or fabric designs — this machine delivers excellent results every time. It is perfect for hobbyists, small business crafters, or professional creatives.

Why Choose Silhouette CAMEO 5A Matte Black

• Fast, Accurate & Reliable Cutting: The CAMEO 5A uses advanced engineering to deliver fast cutting up to 400 mm/s. This speed does not come at the cost of precision. The new belt-driven system and reinforced chassis ensure smooth, stable cuts that are clean and professional.

• Wide Material Compatibility: With a cutting width from 5 to 12 inches and support for materials up to 3 mm thick, the machine handles vinyl, paper, card stock, heat transfer vinyl, fabric, faux leather, and even specialty media.

• Versatile Tool Options: The CAMEO 5A supports multiple tools — cutting, sketching, embossing, foil stamping (with optional Heat Pen), and more. That opens up many creative possibilities beyond simple cutting. 

• Easy Workflow & Quiet Operation: Thanks to features such as automatic tool detection, front automatic cross-cutting, one-touch job repeat, and ultra-quiet operation — your workflow becomes smoother and more efficient. It’s ideal for a home studio or small business environment.

• Cutting Precision Even on Thin or Delicate Materials: With the patented Intelligent Path Technology (IPT), the machine optimises cutting order to prevent tearing or curling — even with ultra-thin paper or delicate materials.

Easy to Use, Easy to Maintain

Because the CAMEO 5A works with Silhouette Studio software, you can design from scratch or import SVG, PNG or other design files.

That means less guesswork, fewer ruined cuts, and more creative freedom — especially if you are new to cutting machines.

Moreover, optional accessories such as an electrostatic mat help when working with thin materials — holding them securely without curling or tearing.
