DIY Desktop Laser Cutter and Engraver - FABOOL Laser Mini

thingiverse

FABOOL Laser Mini is an open-source, ready-to-assemble desktop laser cutter and engraver developed by smartDIYs, a group of Japanese engineers. This machine excels in usability and expandability, meeting various needs with ease. It all started when we created a high-power 60W large laser cutter and engraver for our own use a year and a half ago. We then downsized it to create a desktop version called Smart Laser Mini. Now, we're releasing the upgraded FABOOL Laser Mini with improved usability, stylish design, and 1/4 of assembly time. In June 2016, FABOOL Laser Mini raised $60 million on crowdfunding platforms, setting a record for the highest amount ever in Japan and the second-highest globally among laser cutter campaigns. To learn more about us: http://www.smartdiys.cc/fabool-laser-mini/ Key Features: * "Scalability" adapts to various user needs * Extension of parts allows users to customize based on their requirements, such as expanding the frame for a 1m x 1m processing range or replacing the laser head for higher output. * Both hardware and software are open-source, enabling users to add original functions. FABOOL Laser Mini satisfies a wide range of needs by providing sufficient machine performance. Equipped with high-spec motor drivers and high-speed microcomputer chips, it can be used in various situations from designing to teaching to prototyping and more. Easy assembly takes about two hours, requiring only a hex wrench and spanner included in the kit. User-friendly cloud-based software includes functions such as creating and retrieving processed data of products, sharing among users.
