Snapmaker has been making three-in-one manufacturing tools -- The Snapmaker, Snapmaker 2 and Artisan -- for over six years now. These machines have changeable tool heads that can be used for 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining. At the beginning of this year, it branched out to make a dedicated 3D printer, the J1 -- a dual print-head machine that works very well -- and today the company revealed its first stand-alone laser cutter.

Called the Ray, this laser cutter comes with either a powerful 40-watt laser for $1,299, or a 20-watt version for $999, a price that puts it in direct competition with Glowforge's new laser, the Aura. The 40w laser is capable of cutting through 20mm (3/4-inch) pieces of wood in one pass, while the 20w version will cut through 10mm basswood easily. It has a 400-by-600mm cutting service with a raisable leg system to allow it to cut and etch into thicker pieces of material like boxes or chopping boards. While the Ray doesn't come with an enclosure, there is an optional one available that has an auto shut-off system so the laser stops when you open the lid.

  • What are the "unique secrets" of each family in terms of breaking the game and high reaction materials?

    Laser is considered a sharp sword that cuts iron like mud, but even sharper swords can have tricky moments. For example, in certain scenarios, there are materials with higher reflectivity, such as silver, copper, etc., known as "high reflection materials". High reflective materials have a low absorption rate for lasers, making them difficult to process and potentially causing equipment failure or ...

    Semi light, partially matter quasi particles, known as excitons polaritons, can easily bypass obstacles and condense into a single coherent state - both of which are characteristics of topological insulators. Researchers from the United States and China have developed a new technology to manufacture microcavities from chloride based halide perovskites. They expect this work to lead to a new type o...
