While some decent lasers are out there for under $400 USD, they tend to be a little small. What if you wanted something a little nicer but didn’t want to jump to the $2,000 category? The answer for ...

If you’re diving into DIY laser engraving, expensive software shouldn’t limit your creativity. Thankfully, several free design tools pack serious power without the price tag. Whether prepping vector ...

Laser engraving uses a powerful beam of light to create detailed designs on various materials. The laser works by vaporizing the surface layer, leaving behind precise and lasting marks or etchings.

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
