What we like
- Bundles the 2W IR module standard — ready for metal/plastic marking out of the box
- World-first 1,000mm/s enclosed diode cutter (10,000mm/s² acceleration)
- Tool-free wedge-lock module swaps between 40W diode and 2W IR in seconds
- 12MP/6K camera plus physical Point-to-Shape positioning for zero-loss alignment
- 3D adaptive auto-focus handles curved and uneven surfaces without manual adjustment
