What if you could combine a 3D printer, cutter and laser engraver all into one machine? This is exactly what the Russian-American startup Endurance Lasers is proposing today, with a range of diode lasers that can be easily installed onto a 3D printer or a CNC machine. With the lasers, the\u00a0user is able to obtain a hybrid machine that will allow them to go even further in their manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

Lasers capable of cutting or engraving many materials<\/h4>\n

Some 3D printer manufacturers have embarked on the development of a 3-in-1 machine that combines 3D printing, cutting and engraving to offer more possibilities, all at a rather attractive price. The success of ZMorph or Snapmaker printers comes to mind. Other companies have also designed solutions to add functions to an existing machine.<\/p>\n

Endurance Lasers relies on the idea of adding these functions to your 3D printer with solid state lasers. Based in the United States and Russia, the firm offers lasers of greater or lesser power depending on the needs of the user. They currently have a range of 6 lasers<\/a> that are available today, with a power ranging from 2.1W to 10W, and are able to run continuously from 48 to 72 hours. The startup says that their lasers can cut up to 8 to 10 mm of wood, plywood, acrylic, cardboard or plastic. The most powerful – from 8W to 10W – could also burn on aluminum, brass, stone, copper, ceramics and even stainless steel. An interesting solution to customize any type of object.<\/p>

The CEO and founder of Endurance Lasers, George Fomitchev, explains: “Our goal is to make laser engraving easy, more comfortable and to offer new possibilities for 3D printers and CNC machines. We have an advanced R&D department that allows us to develop more innovative solutions. Every day, we want to show how our lasers can be used, whether at home, in a workshop or even for small and medium businesses. “<\/p>\n\n\t\t
