Projet CNC makerslide laser, 40W

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

I would like to build a small 40W laser CNC device inspired by Buildlog.net, using famous makerslide and arduino.

• http://buildlog.net/cnc_laser/index.php
• http://www.buildlog.net/wiki/doku.php?id=2x:2.x_laser

This laser seems to be a derivate from Shapeoko CNC.

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

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

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.

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