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
Nano Pro
- Laser Type: 450nm blue light diode laser
- Power: 12W

- "0.02 x 0.02mm Precision with field lens" (product landing page) (does this mean 1270 dpi?.. 25.4 mm per inch / 0.02)
- Max Speed: 2200mm/s
- Working Area: 100mm x 100mm extendable to 100mm x 300mm with extension
- Preview speed: 17000mm/s
- Thickest cut: 8.5mm
- 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
