Projet CNC laser cutter/engraver, 40W

This projects aims to build a small 40W CNC laser cutter / engraver




This project aims to build a small laser CNC at the lowest possible cost for learning purpose.

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

  • Cutting small wood / acrylic parts.
  • Engaving aluminium parts.

The devices should not require too much space and should be cheap, around 1000 EUR maximum.
