There are many benefits of using laser engravers and CNC machines in making personalized and unique products. These machines are essential tools for makers and DIYers who want to add a personal touch to their projects. Laser engravers are an easy and versatile tool that can cut a wide range of materials, including wood, glass, rubber, acrylic, and leather. I walk through some practical tips on how to use and source materials for laser engravers and show how you can sell projects, such as ornaments and wooden signs, for a 50-80% profit margin. Finally, I discuss how CNC machines can be used for more complex projects, such as carving and milling, but requires more experience and investment.

This video covers the advantages of the CNC vs Laser. If you’re wondering on the advantages of laser cutting or CNC machining, this video is worth watching.

Running into problems having some things made for us we decided the easiest way to do it was to just buy a plasma cutter. This one in particular is a Langmuir Systems Crossfire with a Razorweld Razorcut 45.

Shot with my new Canon 6d Mark 2. I know the audio during the Illustrator and Fusion360 parts is drastically different but a studio mic versus a shotgun mic 6 feet away is a drastically different animal.

I have been dreaming for several years about getting a CNC plasma table and finally settled on buying one from Arclight Dynamics. The time has finally come as I have my power and air supply mostly sorted and it’s time to add the crown jewel of my metal working and design business. In this episode, I finalize my air supply needs and unload and unbox the plasma table components. I also cover the setup and first cuts on my Arclight table. #maker #arclightdynamics #metalartist #industrialdesign #cncplasma #mountainwerks

If ya know, ya know! We finally took delivery of our @ShopSabre CNC Sidekick 10 Plasma Cutting table!

For those that don’t know, a plasma cutter is the closest thing we have to an actual lightsaber here on earth. It uses a high-voltage electrical arc to split atoms creating plasma, which is then forced through metal with compressed air in a really tight beam of metal slicing energy. The CNC part, or computer numeric control, is where this technology is taken to the next level. Parts can be designed in a drafting software then sent to the included computer where its turned into a set of movement instructions for all the motors responsible for moving the gantry around the table. The level of precision possible with a machine like this is incredible, not to mention part repeatability.

Tay went back and forth about this move for quite a while but having been a fabricator for almost 15 years, he saw how a machine like this can do things that are either too time consuming or just plain impossible by hand. We are so stoked to see what becomes possible here at the studio with a machine like this. What should we build first?
