Now school project we want to develop, a transportable laser cutter. We base our work on the FoldaRap2 because we work in the same lab as Emmanuel. Goals of this project: We want to develop this machine using off-the-shelves parts or existing projects and technologies. We want to be able in this project to create a tiny laser cut portable in less than 4 month.

With 600€ you go to an small laser cut http://www.ebay.fr/itm/High-Precise-and-High-Speed-USB-CO2-Laser-Engraver-Engraving-Cutting-Machine-/170934801974?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27cc821636

Specifications

  • Printed Parts: 20-21
  • Non-Printed Parts: Laser tube, Power laser, optical part, laser water cooling, air boost,
  • Cost: 400 €
  • Cutting Size: 200mm x 200mm
  • Resolution : a voir ?? mm and ?? mm
  • Speed: ?? mm/s

Special Features

  • Mobile!
  • Modular
  • Innovative
  • Based on standard/cheap 20x20mm aluminium extrusion (with 6mm slot)
  • Easy to build, with few tools (the printed parts are based on a 20mm grid (for overall aesthetic and mostly to ease the design), are generally 3-4mm thick, and fit the beams in a way you have nothing to measure during the assembly
  • Whith a real CO2 laser tube
  • Little (the entire machine is going to be about 30*30*30)
  • Big RED Power Security (my favorite detail ^^)
  • Cut surface about 200 x 200 mm
  • Easy to place on the material (it the machine witch go on the material, not the material witch go inside the small machine)
