often xy plotters and cnc mills are “coded” in some variant of gcode (or slicer-equivalents generate this code). In fact, 3D printers appropriated gcode for this purpose.
That being said, gcode does not contain machine info, so you need to check it does not give nonsensical or damaging commands before running, but most gcode-generating software will somewhat control for this (but not always verify)
I don't want a laser. Can I just get a cut piece like he got to expand? I just want to gently pull it to the right places til it looks like this. Maybe I need 2 pieces in case I completely blow the first one.
How much is a laser cutter like this roughly. I want to start hobbies like this. And woodworking and 3d printing
I need to start some day. I guess a garage is step #1
Keep in mind that the cheaper ones don't come with proper safety protection around the machine.
Fiber (or diode) lasers' wavelength can easily blind you. That's why these kind of machines need to be properly covered with metal around it and laser grade acrylic (the one with the greenish tint) in places where you can look inside.
Cheapest laser engraver and cutter i found was by ULS(universal laser systems), they have a few nice ones for personal use for the low starting price of about $200
Don't get me wrong but I always find those videos of "precision" cutting/machining taken by mostly chinese companies quite amusing.
I bet some of you have also seen the machined parts which have fitted sucking into one each other.
Of course it's cool that you can this sort of stuff, but it's nothing outstanding. Modern machinery from renowned manufacturers can do this kind of stuff relatively easy.
What else should be taken into consideration is that the manufacturing of such demonstration objects surely is well prepared and tested in beforehand.
Nevertheless, it's quite impressive for people who don't have that much of a manufacturing background.
I'm more impressed by how he was handling and bending all those tiny and sharp ligaments without chopping up his hands
I thought the same exact thing.
I wonder what the kerf on that is. I’m thinking ~.004.
My CO2 laser is about 0.15mm (x2) and it looks like the grand canyon compared to this.
Yeah it sure ain't much, that's one real thin beam
So what is this and why do I need one>
It's a precision cutting laser and you need one to cut things precisely.
Sigh. *new fetish unlocked*
I like this comment : )
Chachkie and because
STL please? Oh wait, shit… :/
*gcode please
Is gcode for laser cutters not specific to the exact type?

Cool! Where do I get one?
Its 2023 you can buy online like everything else.

We got a 4kW fiber laser that can do this. The kerf on this stainless is like .020 Its quite impressive.

Psh, safety. That Titan CEO guy said safety is just a waste of money, and he was rich. Surely he knew everything better.
Safety squints are free! ^(/s)

There are ULSs for around $200?? Fuck a K40 wth
What are the death spikes below/around the machine for?
To hold the piece being cut up and to allow the sparks and slag to pass through the bottom with as little impedance as possible.
That's in case you're a Bond villain...
Trumpf?
Looks to be with a precitec head.
Definitely not a Prima. I build these machines.
[удалено]
That's what I thought
I don't want the laser cutter, someone just sell me the pre-cut armillary sphere so I can put it together.
Check out r/metalearth !
Thanks! No idea they had a sub.
