Laser cutting and engraving technologies have become essential tools across a wide variety of different industries, from manufacturing, art and small businesses. These technologies use laser beams to ...
In this video, I’ll break down the advantages and drawbacks of Co2 vs diode lasers, compare costs, and answer the question: which type of laser should you get? I’ll also discuss my ventilation setup ...
[Jeshua Lacock] from 3DTOPO owns a large-format CNC (4’x8′, or 1.2×2.4 m), that he strongly feels is lacking laser-cutting capabilities. The frame is there, and a 150 W CO2 laser tube has been sitting ...
The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
Laser engraving has become a new hobby of mine as of late. I've been tinkering around with blue diode lasers that can engrave, but seem to function better as organic material cutters. I also have an ...
