Detailed Specifications

Description:

Laser engravers are extremely versatile, powerful, and easy to use.  They are among the most popular tools at Maker Works. These CO2 lasers are capable of cutting, engraving, and marking a wide range of materials.  The lasers appear as printers under Windows (you can install the drivers on your own laptop and print over our network to the lasers!).  Use Corel Draw, Inkscape, or a variety of vector graphics programs to produce artwork.  A rotary attachment allows engraving cylindrical objects such as glasses. See the Epilog Manual for more information.

We have two laser engravers that we lovingly refer to as Laser A (24 x 12 inches) and Laser B (24 x 18 inches). Remember, B is Bigger!
