The Lasersaur is a beautiful laser cutter with an outstanding price-performance ratio. We designed it to fill the need of makers, designers, architects and researchers who want a safe and highly-capable machine. Unlike others it's open source and comes fully loaded with knowledge to run, maintain, and modify.

What can it cut?	Material Rundown Video
What are the specs?	work area: 1220x610mm (48x24") dimensions: 1700x1170x360mm (67x46x14.2") laser: 120W @ 10.6um (100W in long-life) resolution: 0.1-0.03mm (240-840dpi) maximum feed/seekrate: 6000mm/min modes: vector, vector fills, raster
What does set it apart?	Solid aluminum/stainless design. Beautiful, cross-platform control software. Industrial size yet portable (2 people, panels off). Powerful API to fully integrate into workflow. Open source design with helpful community. Designed for DIY maintenance. Modular design (upgradable to 200W). Quick-swapable focal lens.
How can I get one?	By kit-building one. It's super fun! Read the starter page. Order parts. Follow the step-by-step build guide.
Who has already built a 'saur?	Lot of us! Hacker spaces all over the world. Students at CMU, NYU, MIT, ETH et al. Designers and Architects.
Who started it?	Stefan and Addie from Nortd Labs
