According to my research, the following are differences from the predecessor:

1. improved automatic blade
The new automatic blade, which is already used in the SILHOUETTE CAMEO® 4, now fits into the tool holder. It adjusts much faster than the old automatic blade, which is a real advantage.

2 Automatic tool recognition
The SILHOUETTE PORTRAIT® 3 now also reports the tool used to the Silhouette Studio software. This prevents operating errors and makes adjustments easier.

3. pop-out cut
Materials can be cut using the pop-out cut method without a cutting mat. A special perforation line is used for this purpose and the objects can simply be broken out after cutting.
