Reciprocating Laser Cutter

Model Overview: The Reciprocating Laser Cutter is a compact device that utilizes a 1-watt IR laser diode for material cutting. Unlike traditional CO2 laser cutters, this model allows for dynamic adjustment of the laser's focal point, providing a more versatile cutting approach.

Applications: This model is perfect for experimental projects and small tasks that require precise cutting of materials over a limited area.

Design Features: The device features a mini CNC component with a short travel distance (3-4 cm per axis), making it convenient for home use. It is constructed using old CD/DVD drives, which helps to keep costs low.

Printing Recommendations: For successful printing of the model, it is advised to use durable and stable materials and to ensure the quality of assembly for all components.
