Longer Nano

Technical Specifications

Nano

• Laser Type: 450nm blue light diode laser
• Power: 6W
• Aiming mechanism: "a glass" bends the laser night according to Kickstarter, generally described as a galvo versus traditional X/Y carriage
• "0.05 x 0.05mm Precision" (product landing page) (does this mean 1270 dpi?.. 25.4 mm per inch / 0.05)
• Max Speed: 600mm/s
• Working Area: 100mm x 100mm extendable to 100mm x 300mm with extension
• Preview speed: 17000mm/s
• Thickest cut: 4mm
• Gold/Silver can ben engraved by first applying paint and an oxidizing layer (according to Kickstarter)
• Transparent acrylic: Engraving not recommended but can paint it black first with a pen (according to Kickstarter). 450nm diode lasers apparently have issues with transparent materials without coating
