Laguna Laser MX
Laguna Laser MX
CO2 CNC Lasers work by basically bouncing light emissions back and forth between mirrors until the beam is strong enough to pass through a partially transparent mirror at the tip of the router head. Going a little more in depth, the mixture of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, and Nitrogen is what allows the process of population inversion to occur once an electrical current is added to it. The key to the formation of the laser beam is in the Nitrogen atoms though, since Nitrogen is able to maintain an excited state for longer than other elements. Once the Nitrogen comes into contact with cold helium atoms, photons (light) are released.

First Cut
First Cut
The design is made on Vcarve pro
Once the design is made, it is exported to RDworks were the layers for cut and scan are made, and the speeds and power is set
Cutting Process
Cutting Process
This design was scanned and cut on plywood. The settings on the laser to scan plywood are a power of 30 and a speed of 350 mm/s. To cut plywood the settings need to be a power of 50 and a speed of 25mm/s.

The finish product has a little smokiness to it as the smoke from the laser burned some parts of the wood. This can be avoided using masking tape so that it'll burn the tape but not the wood.
Second Cut
Second Cut
This design was made on Vcarve pro
The design was then transferred to RDworks to set the cut and scan layers as well as speed and power
Cutting Process
Cutting Process
The material being cut is acrylic. The lasers settings include a power of 50 and a speed of 350 mm/s to scan they acrylic (engrave). To cut the acrylic it is a power of 50 and a speed of 15mm/s. To cut the acrylic the speed needs to be much slower.

The final product is an earring organizer. The 12 holes in the top allow for 6 pairs of earrings to be organized. It the perfect size to be put in a travel toilerty bag. This product allows earrings to stay organized and prevents loosing them, while also being quite cute.
Third Cut
Third Cut
This was created on MakerCase. The inputted dimensions were 100mm width and height, and a 50mm depth. The thickness was 3mm. The plans were then downloaded and put on RDworks.
Once on RD works the cut settings were made and then downloaded to a hard drive.

This cut was made on cardboard. The settings for a cut on cardboard are 60 speed and 80 power.
