{"product_id":"cnc-machine-blacktooth-laser-cutter-engraver-40w","title":"blackToothv2 40W CO2 Laser Cutter and Engraver","description":"A laser cutting and engraving system that is low cost and easy to use. The machine features a 40W CO2 Laser system intended for space saving and large work area of 24\" (609mm) x 20\" (508mm). This is possible due to the way we designed the gantry and tube position. The blackToothv2 will be provided in kit form. Of course, this will come with the usual precautions of using and aligning lasers, which can be really dangerous if not done correctly and safely.    \u003cstrong\u003eWhat Can You Make with the blackTooth Laser Engraver?

The software to control the laser system will depend on the option purchased. If the USB version is purchased, you will need to purchase the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.planet-cnc.com\/index.php?page=shop\"\u003eplanet-cnc software license\u003c\/a\u003e. The parallel version and the integrated computer version, you have an option of using \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.buildyuurcnc.com\/CNCsoftware.aspx\"\u003emach3\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.linuxcnc.org\/\"\u003elinuxcnc\u003c\/a\u003e.    To create designs, there are many programs out there, but in general, you will need a CAD (Computer Aided Design like SketchUp, AutoCAD, etc.) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing like CAMBAM, BobCAM, RhinoCAM, etc.) program. There are programs out there that will create g-code from pictures, generate cad geometry (.dxf) from artwork which are great uses for engraving. With CAD and CAM, you have infinite possibilities to engrave and cut whatever you can imagine.    \u003cb\u003e New: blackTooth with Integrated Laser Control Unit\u003c\/b\u003e    \u003ci\u003eWe are now offering the blackTooth with an integrated Laser Control Unit. You will be able to design on your own computer and import the finished file directly into the control unit and run it from the machine. You will also be able to control speed and power within the software. If you are choosing this option we will contact you to make sure you have the appropriate links for wiring and setup as well as software for this unit. \u003c\/i\u003e    Purchase with caution and lase only materials you know that will not off-gas harmful constituents. A thorough understanding of CO2 lasers, and what happens to material when burned is essential.    We first introduced this laser cutter and engraver on \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1427848145\/build-your-own-laser-cutter?ref=search\"\u003eKickstarter - Build Your Own Laser Cutter.\u003c\/a\u003e The project provided us enough exposure to offer the laser cutter to the kickstarter backers as pre-orders. This enabled us to get enough equipment to open this system to the public.    Heavy caution must be considered with many aspects of lasers such as this. The lasing beam of this laser is invisible and cannot be seen by the human eye. Materials being lased by may emit gasses that are harmful to humans (corrode human tissue and cause damage to respiratory organs). Always read the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the material to be lased. You can find these MSDS from manufacturer websites for the material you are considering for use in the laser system.","brand":"BuildYourCNC","offers":[{"title":"40W CO2 Laser Cutter and Engraver Kit - You Assemble - 110V","offer_id":45875869221038,"sku":"4116","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Generic Laser CO2 Protective Goggles","offer_id":45875869253806,"sku":"807","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40W CO2 Laser Cutter and Engraver Kit - You Assemble - 220V","offer_id":45875869286574,"sku":"6684","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"blackTooth v2 Laser Cutter and Engraver Plans","offer_id":45875869319342,"sku":"6729","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/7516\/3822\/files\/blacktoothv2-800.jpg?v=1730084629","url":"https:\/\/buildyuurcnc.com\/products\/cnc-machine-blacktooth-laser-cutter-engraver-40w","provider":"BuildYourCNC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
