4 advantages of laser engraving machine
One of the most common questions new makerspaces face is where to invest their investment – CNC machinery, 3D printers or lasers. While in an ideal world you'd have an unlimited budget and be able to buy all the toys, budgets can certainly limit the options. While these spaces offer makers a variety of hands-on high-tech tools and resources, most of us have heard that lasers are one of the most popular tools in the field. While all of these types of equipment can complement each other well, there are few reasons why a laser cutter might be more sought after.
Speed
Laser cutters are fast. Like, very fast. In fact, depending on the size of the project, you can laser cut a prototype in minutes. Add engraving to your project in just minutes.
Easy to Use
Laser training tends to be very fast because it's like printing to paper. You can use most graphic design programs to set up your artwork and send it to the laser. Training is either by more experienced users, or through courses that you require users to take before they are qualified to use the laser.
Material Versatility
Lasers work on a wide variety of materials—wood, acrylic, fabric, cork, rubber, leather, and more. Users can engrave/cut scraps, assembled products, and even cheap corrugated cardboard. 3D printers primarily use plastic. While 3D filaments are generally affordable, if you use specialty filaments, the price can go up.
Recruitment
If you're a makerspace looking to grow your membership, Laser is the place for you. When you're ready to work and project, all you need to do is plug in your materials and hit the start button. Potential members will be overwhelmed by the precision and speed of the laser.
