Open Source Laser Cutter

We were contacted by Bart Dring of BuildLog.net, which provides a variety of resources for laser cutting tech. Bart says: 
 
I thought you might be interested in my new open source laser cutter.  This is a second generation generation machine called the 2.x Laser.  It is a much more robust and easier to build than the previous buildlog.net laser. It will be release under OSHW (as soon as a logo is picked).  Currently the license is Creative Commons Attribute, Share Alike.
 
We are indeed! According to their post, the 2 axis machine has a third manually controlled vertical axis, and has a build envelope of 12” x 20” x 4”. The T-slot framed machine has upgraded electronics and differs in philosophy from the previous version. Version one attempted to be self-replicating, but this implied a constrained design. The new version instead focuses on robustness for increased functionality rather than replication. 
 
Join their forum to gain access to the design and build yourself a cool laser cutter!

  1. I am very much appreciate with your information, this would be very beneficial for every-one. hope you will be providing more fundamentals of cutting tools in your next outcoming! i really like the Fundamentals of Design and the mathematical process for conceptualizing rigging slicing collection with optimal parameters. This would also very much helpful for the gear cutter users. i am very much interested in my new open source laser cutter.
