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!
- 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)
