See http://fslaser.com/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser-engraver-and-cutter<br /><br />You would also need a blower, filter and software. The FS hobby laser machine is useful for a small shops that want to cut one or two of an item. For more production volume you need to move up to a Epilog Mini or comparable machine and pay around $10,000-$15,000 plus a matching filter system for another $3K.<br /><br />The next step is to learn how to design a laser cut kit. It is not too hard, but some mechanical, architectural and software/CAD experience is helpful. It was pretty easy for me, but I have a BS and MS in mechanical engineering from MIT :) <br /><br />I believe that learning to use a laser cutter is a standard skill in most architecture schools these days.<br /><br />Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14041125155303909803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108382665458119460.post-92039871284205777492012-09-05T23:00:54.834-04:002012-09-05T23:00:54.834-04:00If you don't mind.
