In addition, PHECDA Laser Engraving machine will be launched on August 2, 2023 at 00 PM: < > The UTC was officially launched on Kickstarter.
The company has more than 350 dedicated employees, operating area of 15,000 square meters. The factory. ELEGOO, a portmanteau of the words "electronic" and "googol," represents the company's focus on open source electronics and innovative technology. Its products are available in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, etc.
ELEGOO offers a wide range of products, including the MARS LCD 3D printer launched in 2019. ELEGOO's successful product line is part of the crowdfunding success. According to the company, pre-orders for Saturn's resin 3D printer raised $146,000 in just one minute, becoming the number one brand in domestic LCD consumer 3D printer sales in 2020. In addition, the Jupiter Resin 3D Printer raised $4 million through crowdfunding and was the second to record worldwide sales of 3D printing equipment in 2021. In addition, the company reported global sales of more than 500,000 LCD 3D printers and gross revenues of more than $1 million in the same year.
PHECDA Laser Engraving Machine offers engraving sizes of 400mm x 400mm, which can meet "the user's artistic needs". With a maximum power of 20W (depending on the configuration selected), it can carve and cut a wide range of materials including metal, leather and wood. Users have the flexibility to carve or cut patterns on different materials, and can even choose to rotate shaft modules to carve curved objects such as cylinders. Equipped with WiFi connectivity, the machine allows users to upload and edit pictures via an app, and edit using text overlay, drawing tools and more.
ELEGOO's laser engraver differs from other machine designs on the market in that its laser head module features three horizontally placed pieces, rather than the usual vertically placed individual pieces. The left and right sides of the module are equipped with two fans to provide optimal heat dissipation and prolong the life of the laser head. The laser head also has a plug-in design that allows easy installation and replacement via backplane rails.
Laser engraving often produces smoke, which is harmful to the user and the environment. ELEGOO has taken steps to alleviate this by installing magnetic sun shades on the Z-axis and a smoke filter on top of the machine. This design creates a relatively sealed and quiet sculpting environment that effectively filters harmful gases and reduces smoke. In addition, the machine comes with goggles to protect the user's eyes from potential laser damage while operating the machine.
PHECDA's ultra-affordable price indicates that ELEGOO aims to dispel the stereotype that laser engraving machines are too expensive for the average manufacturer or hobbyist. By offering products at reasonable prices with acceptable profit margins, ELEGOO aims to lower the barriers to entry for laser engraving machines. The move is expected to increase the number of users and create a virtuous cycle of feedback and data that will drive the development of better, more user-friendly machines in the future.
