Snapmaker, a leading innovator in desktop manufacturing solutions, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking 10W laser module. This powerful add-on is designed to revolutionize desktop laser processing, offering unprecedented capabilities, precision and efficiency for manufacturing professionals, hobbyists and educators.
The Snapmaker 10W laser module represents a significant leap forward in laser technology, enabling creators to effortlessly bring their imagination to life. With its exceptional performance, intelligent features and safety mechanisms, this module promises to redefine what's possible with desktop laser processing.
Performance Leap: Unleashing the Power of 10W Laser
At the core of the Snapmaker 10W laser module is its advanced laser beam combiner, which significantly boosts power from 5W to 10W. This power leap opens a world of possibilities for users, allowing them to work with a broader range of materials and explore new creative territories.
"The 10W laser module is a game-changer for desktop laser processing," said the company's CEO. "This module embodies our commitment to pushing technological boundaries and providing our users with tools to unleash their creative potential."
The module enables creators to effortlessly engrave, cut and mark various materials including wood, acrylic, leather, fabric, paper and more. Whether for intricate engravings or rapid cutting, the module delivers the power and precision needed to get the job done.
Efficiency Revolution: Lightning Speed and Unmatched Productivity
Designed for today's fast-paced world, the 10W laser module maximizes productivity with cutting speeds up to 6000 mm/min. This impressive speed allows creators to complete projects faster, improving efficiency and reducing turnaround times.
The module can effortlessly cut through materials like basswood up to 8mm thick. Compared to a 1.6W laser module, it achieves cutting speeds eight times faster, enabling truly "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" laser operations.
Redefined Precision: Exceptional Detail With Ultra-Fine Spot
The 10W laser module features dual laser diodes and built-in fast-axis collimation (FAC) lenses to ensure exceptional precision and detail. These advanced technologies work together to first compress each laser diode's spot, then combine the beams from both diodes using beam combining technology.
This innovative approach achieves higher output power and an ultra-fine laser focus measuring just 0.05 mm × 0.2 mm. The smaller laser focus combined with higher power results in greater energy density, producing high-quality laser work with impeccable detail.
Smart Technology: Seamless Operation With Auto-Focus
The module integrates intelligent features to streamline operation and enhance user convenience. A standout feature is the auto-focus function, which eliminates manual measurements and ensures optimal results every time.
Users simply place their material on the platform, and the module automatically calculates its thickness using triangulation technology with a camera and light emitter. The module then adjusts the Z-axis direction to precisely place the focus on the material surface - a process that takes just seconds.
Visual Preview: Precise Positioning With HD Camera
An upgraded camera capture feature provides a clear, comprehensive view of the work area. The wide-angle HD camera captures the entire material range at once and offers a real-time preview of laser work effects in Snapmaker Luban software.
This visual preview allows creators to position their designs with precision, ensuring flawless cuts and engravings every time while minimizing errors and adjustments.
Software Empowerment: Unleashing Creativity With Snapmaker Luban
Snapmaker Luban software serves as the perfect companion to the 10W laser module, offering a comprehensive suite of tools to unlock creative potential. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, the software makes laser processing accessible to users of all skill levels.
From simple image conversion to parameter setting for different materials, to slicing 3D models into laser-cuttable vector graphics, Snapmaker Luban enables mastery of various advanced techniques while ensuring a smooth, efficient workflow.
Safety Assurance: Multiple Protection Features
Safety is paramount with the 10W laser module, which includes multiple protection features. A built-in gyroscope sensor prevents laser beam emission when the module isn't properly installed or deviates from its designated position.
The module also features a dual heat dissipation system that separately cools the PCBA and laser diodes, preventing overheating and extending diode lifespan to 8,000-10,000 hours under normal use. A temperature sensor automatically stops the module when detecting temperatures above 55°C (131°F), with operation resuming once temperatures normalize.
Broad Compatibility: Versatility Through Flexible Expansion
The 10W laser module is compatible with all Snapmaker 2.0 series models (except the 150 model) and will support upcoming machines. This broad compatibility allows existing Snapmaker users to easily upgrade their machines.
The module also works with various add-ons including rotary modules, emergency stop buttons, air purifiers and CAN hubs, further expanding its functionality for diverse applications.
