Again, 'basic' doesn't mean cheap, this is simply comparable to the Pro.
Though this is still more powerful or comparable to most of the other laser cutters around, for example the best xTool machines.Īlong with this drop in laser efficiency the Glowforge Basic uses the brand's basic components, which means there's a six month warranty here and not the 12 month offer for the Glowforge Pro. There are less costly laser cutters around, and you can find these in our guide to the best laser cutters, but by and large they can't do what a Glowforge Pro is capable of – read my Glowforge tutorial for engraving digital art onto wood for more, but now read on to discover more.ĭropping down to the Glowforge Basic means you get a slower machine when compared to the Glowforge Pro, due to its 40 watt laser, Class 1 laser. You can find the best Glowforge Pro prices on our regularly updated deals page. This is the high-end machine, priced $6,995 / £5,995, it's hardly a casual buy, and there are two more models that are a little cheaper, and I'll take those comparisons into account in this review. In this Glowforge laser cutter review I'll be testing the most costly, feature-rich Glowforge Pro machine. It also looks like a large printer, which is part of its design appeal. Glowforge refers to machines as 3D printers rather than laser cutters, because you're able to turn 2D materials into 3D products – toys, models, gifts, decorations and more can be made on a Glowforge Pro. If you're a keen crafter, college or small design studio a laser cutter like the Glowforge Pro could be a useful purchase. These laser cutters can work with many materials, from wood to leather and plastics to metals.
