3D printing has become much cheaper and accessible, but there has been a lack of decent CNC routers at the same price point. Now the 3018 CNC Pro from Sainsmart aims to fill that void.
Featuring a working volume of 300 x 180 x 45mm, this CNC router goes together well and is capable of machining timber, acrylic and aluminium. It can also engrave copper to make custom PCBs. This machine largely succeeded with everything I threw at it. For this low price plus a one year warranty, I am very impressed and recommend this for beginners looking to get into the hobby.
I have done a fair bit of CNC machining over the years by am by no means a professional machinist. I look forward to the great tips knowledgeable viewers will post in the comments to assist others.
For any cutters you buy, ensure they are 1/8 inch or 3.175mm in shank diameter.
UPDATE: I have a follow up video upgrading this machine. https://youtu.be/Q4TrzshXV10

1: Brief description of the fiber laser technology
Fiber laser technology has become a new star in laser industry and an emerging leader in sheet metal cutting field.
Fiber laser technology works in the way that a fiber laser beam is focused highly on the surface of materials being cut, in which the laser beam of high energy density transforms into great heat with intensified temperature. Being exposed to such heated and focused laser beam, the surface of materials will melt or vaporize instantly, and meanwhile the gas will be blown into the surface of material to sweep off the residue of powder caused from melting materials.
2. What should you know about MORN LASER fiber laser cutting machine?
1). Fiber laser cutting machine is for metal precise cutting powered by fiber laser technology. MORN LASER quality fiber laser beam results in faster cutting speeds and higher quality cuts compared to other cutting solutions. The key advantage of a fiber laser machine is its short beam wavelength (1,064nm). High peak power and nanosecond pulses
contribute to an efficient work in fiber laser engraving and marking.The wavelength, which is ten times lower than that of C02 laser, generates high absorption into metals. This makes the fiber laser machine become a perfect tool for cutting metal sheets of stainless steel, carbon steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, etc.
2). Compared to traditional CO2 laser machines or YAG lasers, the fiber laser has higher effiency and are more versatile in metals processing, especially for sheet metal engraving, cutting and marking. Also, when cutting a wide range of metals, the fiber laser machines all can cut in a very precise way accompanied with high quality cutting edge and faster speed.
3).Fiber laser adopt the reliable emitting diodes with projected lifetimes more than 100,000 hours of continuous or plus operation.
4). MORN LASER software allows the users full control of the fiber laser capabilities, such as control power, modulation rate, pulse width and pulse shape.
5). MORN fiber laser cutting machine equipped with fiber laser 500W, 1000W, 2000W, 3000W (optional). Low operating and maintenance costs. Achieve long-term return on investment and revenue maximization.
6). Enclosure design conforms to CE standard for reliable and safe processing. Pallet changer is convenient for material uploading and unloading and further improving working efficiency.
7). Aiming at high speed cutting, strengthened welded machine body after 2 times of aging process, ensuring long-term accuracy and stability of performance.
3. Applications of the fiber laser cutting machines.
Advantages of fiber laser help this technology to be welcomed by various industries. And application of fiber laser are mainly constituted by fiber laser engraving, cutting and marking with high precision, lower cost and faster speed.
1). High precision sheet metal processing
2). Advertising signage
3). Automobile manufacturing
4). Mechanical equipment production
5). Electrical equipment production
4. Contact with us
The low-cost operation and perfect cutting results of MORN fiber laser machines have attracted more effort of people from all over the world to be thrown into long term cooperation with MORN LASER .
