We bought a laser! This page should be used for documenting stuff.
What kind of Laser?
There are some differences between gas based (CO2) lasers and Fibre or YAG Lasers.
- CO2: Good for everything except metal
- YAG: Good for metal but not much else
- Diode Laser: Limited power
We have an CO2 based system which is good as more materials can be cut/engraved with them. (see [1])
Features
- Big build area (120 x 90 cm )
- Red light mode for dry run (could need a second laser source ) - TODO
- 80W CO2
Finance
When we have this thing running, we maybe need to think how we can get the costs back in. A 100W laser tube costs around 1200€ and has a lifetime of 6000-10000h. Comes down to 1€ for 5 minutes for the tube alone....
