Can GlowForge be used to etch PCBs?

I can see that it could be useful when prototyping circuit boards, but I don’t know about the safety of doing so (or even if it’s possible).

Cutting ABS

Will the Glowforge expose a lot of fine control over the laser cutter to allow me to experiment with differing cutting techniques? (Movement speed, laser power, cut duration, etc) I realize that you are still probably don’t know the exact specs of the model of laser that will be included in the product, but in g…
