Silhouette Curio 2

The Silhouette Curio 2 is a 12″ x 12″ flatbed machine. It comes with the electrostatic mat and has an additional Curio debris tray that can be purchased separately for engraving, leather carving, and embossing. The Silhouette Curio 2 features a 20 mm clearance that makes it stand out from other machines.

Silhouette Cutting Mats for the Curio 2

I highly recommend the Silhouette Curio 2 Debris Tray if you plan to engrave, punch, leather carve, or emboss. Some powered tools require the Curio 2 Debris Tray to function properly. If you try to “trick” the machine, it will sort of freak out and act like you have broken it. However, it can be reset with a full shut down and then should function again properly. The Silhouette Studio programming for the Silhouette Curio 2 tools does not allow for certain uses without the Curio Debris Tray.

Silhouette Retailers

Silhouette America has had the widest selection of inventory in the U.S for Silhouette machines and supplies the past few years.

While the number of Silhouette retailers has decreased, there are still a few that can be found in the U.S.
