Laser Cutting Wood

A Laser cutter offers precision and detail that would normally be tough to achieve without an industrial grade machine.

Not only can these machines cut, but they can also engrave on many different materials.

Flux offers three different laser cutters: Beamo, Beambox Compact, and Beambox Pro which allows for an even larger variety of applications.

So what is the difference between the Beamo and Beamo Pro?

When comparing the Beamo vs the Beambox Pro, each model has an increased workspace size and wattage (power), allowing for bigger and thicker objects to be cut at a faster speed.
