World’s Largest Self-assembly (DIY) Style CO2 Laser Cutter and Engraver

Summary

This is the world’s largest self-assembly style CO2 laser cutter and engraver. It uses high-power 40W CO2 laser tube and has the cutting area as big as 60cm*40cm. It all began with developing a high-power 60W large laser cutter and engraver for ourselves a year and a half ago. We turned it into a smaller version of desktop laser cutter and engraver, as Smart Laser Mini. This time we are releasing Smart Laser CO2 which has much more laser power and larger working area.
