Hey All!!

[Questions]

There are endless possibilities- these are extremely precise machines. One must keep in mind, however, that I can produce 50 of a particular item for about the same cost as one (programming, setup, ect...) so it can be a costly prcedure to have one item done as opposed to a group effort whereby the cost is offset. Im speaking strictly in reference to deep engravings. Etching is a less expensive procedure because of the lower power requuirements and its usually a matter of selecting your fonts, lining it all up and let it go- doing specialized one item projects wouldn't be so bad.

The reason its so expensive is because of the diodes, they have a certain life span and then they just quit. A diode pumped laser putting out 50W of power dies in about 10,000 hours- and they aren't cheap to replace.
