Basics
- Part of the Open Source Digital Fabrication Construction Set
- A laser cutter that uses the D3D frame
Used For
- Cutting of many materials of varying thickness (depends on output power)
- Engraving of flat wood or metal surfaces
- Engraving of the glass subsurface ( See this video )
Industry Standards
3D printer conversions:
- 0.5 and 2.5 MW engraves well and cuts paper. Uses Inkscape with engraving plugin - [1], [2]. 2.5W laser needs a 2A power supply. Needs a regulator to modulate power output.
