Equipment
LC6090 100 Watt
The LC6090 is a compact CO2 laser cutter designed for precision work on smaller materials - particularly WOOD. It is well suited for engraving and cutting wood, acrylic, leather, and similar substrates. Its enclosed design allows for consistent alignment and clean edge quality, making it ideal for detailed fabrication and repeatable small-batch production.
Raytools Fiber Laser 2000 Watt
The Raytools 2000 watt fiber laser is a high-power metal cutting system capable of processing steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals with speed and accuracy. It can cut 10mm steel pretty easily in regular use, and handles thicker material in the 14–16mm range well, which is especially useful for sign businesses and structural components. It delivers clean cuts with minimal post-processing and is used for production-grade parts where precision and throughput matter.
Fiber Laser Welder 700 Watt
The 700 watt fiber laser welder provides precise, low-heat-input welding for metals, reducing warping and discoloration compared to traditional welding methods. It is effective for fine detail work, small assemblies, and repair tasks, offering strong, clean welds with minimal finishing required.
Usage & Consumables
Some equipment may incur additional fees based on usage time and consumables. For example, all laser systems rely on components like lenses that wear over time and require regular replacement. Charges may be applied proportionally based on machine hours and material impact.
