# Free design software for the Cricut Venture

The Venture is Cricut's wide-format machine for professional work. Cricut says it precision-cuts 100+ materials, up to 75 feet long, at commercial speeds. At that scale, a clean file matters: a design mistake repeats down every foot of material.

## Workflow

1. **Design in the browser.** Open the studio and build the design at final physical size, with the mat set to your finished print size. Working in inches from the start means nothing needs rescaling later.
2. **Weld and offset.** Weld overlapping script letters into one outline so the blade does not cut through the joins, and add an offset for a backing layer or sticker border.
3. **Give each layer its own color.** Design Space separates an uploaded SVG into layers by fill color, so give each intended layer a distinct fill before exporting.
4. **Export and upload.** Export SVG, then Upload → Upload Image in Design Space, choose your material and send the job to the Venture.

## Handoff to the machine's software

Export an SVG from the studio, then in Design Space choose Upload → Upload Image → browse to the file. It arrives with layers and colours intact, ready to place on the mat and cut. Design Space is the only software that can send cut instructions to a Cricut, so this handoff is the last step no third-party tool can remove.
