The space has purchased a 100w JPT MOPA Galvo Laser. Galvo lasers can engrave and cut metals.

The MOPA function allows a lot more control and can on metals such as stainless, "engrave" in colour. In reality this is just localised heating to produce heat marks, but it's pretty cool.

Our existing lightburn agreement covers the pro version of the software, so both lasers can be used with Lightburn, however there are significant differences in setup, specifically because of the difference in boards.
