Laser Engraving Maschine Tipp for a Newcommer

Post by Cuddel »

Hello Vectric team.

I already have the VCarve software for my CNC machine. I would like to use an additional external laser module with vectric.

As a newcomer to laser engraving, I am now looking for an inexpensive, ready-made entry-level model up to around 500 € which can be operated with the Vectric software. I look forward to tips

My questions:
1. Can entry-level devices be controlled with vectric software. Which?
2. Are devices like those in the attached pictures in the appendix suitable?
3. Is it possible without the LaserGrbl or other laser software software?
4. Can the LaserGRBL and the LaserModule from Vectric be combined
5. Is there a recommendation for a working size of at least 400 * 400 mm or larger?

Sorry for the many questions. I look forward to hints.

Best regards.
Cord

Look at this page. https://www.vectric.com/products/laser-module It lists which systems are compatible with the laser module.

At the end of the day it can be made to work with many others if you know what you're doing but there are so many combinations of laser hardware/software these days it's not always a simple plug and play operation.

Thanks for your answer.

Since I am not yet familiar with engraving and do not want to assemble a machine by myself, I would like to choose a finished machine that is reasonably inexpensive and that works with vectric.
Although I was able to read the link, I couldn't find a specific machine through it. maybe I still lack the understanding. So I would be happy if I could get a link to a machine.

Thank you for the effort.
