Cutting material requires more power, with the most popular cutting lasers being CO2 with power between 10W-100W. But the small, affordable solid state laser modules can cut some materials, like acrylic, if you get a powerful enough model. If you want an affordable way to use one of those, then [08:10] schestowitz the Mokey Laser v1.0 is worth looking at.

[09:03] schestowitzHe added: "So, we will create an advisory board, but what we will not do is create a separate board of directors for LF Europe, because while we want to foster regional collaboration, we don't want to create silos."

[09:18] schestowitz[09:18] schestowitzProbably one of my favourite pieces of software. I often have a love / hate relationship with it due to some historic instability issues, although it has genuinely gotten a lot better there. It could be improved as with anything and these funds will help towards that.

[09:45] schestowitzThe standard caught on, all software supports it, the patents are dead.
