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
