This laser seems to be a derivate from [http://www.shapeoko.com Shapeoko CNC]. According to the authour, it was designed as a "self replicating" laser cutter engraver'. What this means, is all of the high tolerance complicated parts can be made on a laser cutter. So, once one laser cutter is done, it can help make others. All of the other parts can either be purchased or made with common home tools.

There is a wide use for such a small laser at the lab:

The advantages of building this project is that it is relatively cheap, does not require too much space and can be built quickly, within 3 months.

The devices should not require too much space, should be cheap and self-replicating, which means that the laser should be able to cut most of its own parts.

Projet CNC makerslide laser, 40W

This projects aims to build a small 40W CNC laser using makerslide




There is a need for a small and versatile CNC laser cutter/engraver at the Lab:

  • Cut small wood / plastic parts (robotics).
  • Engrave aluminium or even cut small parts (to be verified).
  • Engrave PCB.

The devices should not require too much space, should be cheap and self-replicating, which means that the laser should be able to cut most of its own parts.

While searching the Internet, I found this small 40W laser CNC device inspired by Buildlog.net, using famous makerslide and arduino.

This laser seems to be a derivate from Shapeoko CNC. According to the authour, it was designed as a "self replicating" laser cutter engraver'.

If some members are interested, we can discuss building this Buildlog.net device shortly.
