Fabulaser Mini
An open source laser cutter
within your reach.
A compact, yet powerful, laser cutter friend.
An open source laser cutter kit designed to fit Fab Labs and Classrooms.
A tool to make, a tool to learn.
While the nowadays laser cutters on the market are more of a black box, Fabulaser Mini adds on top of the laser cutting functionalities a valuable learning experience. Ideally built together with students during a workshop, Fabulaser Mini will give to the user not only the possibility to laser cut, but also to learn how the machine is made, how it works. And other than learning about electronics, mechanics and lasers, the final user will also have a deep knowledge of the machine, so to be able to efficiently execute maintenance, apply improvements and even design his own machine later on!
Fabulaser Mini comes with state of art building instruction manual, detailing any of the many building details. Divided in logical steps, the manual also instructs on general building practices, the laser calibration and how to connect all the electronics of the machine. Teachers and lectures can also use the manual to divide workshop participants into building groups.
Redundant Safety
Fabulaser Mini includes all the standard safety features of a laser cutter, plus extras, for a safe usage. The laser output is controlled in multiple stages, and emitted only when all the different safety requirements are satisfied. The electronics design is made in a way that if a sensor is faulty, the laser output is disabled.
Fabulaser Mini has the following safety measures:
- magnetic limit switches
- two independent window sensors
- water flow sensor
- laser output cut off
- emergency button with key
One kit for a complete laser cut package.
