This is cool, it combines some of the tech in fiber lasers with some of the more traditional gantry style lasers.
There’s a case to be made for a 130 W CO2 laser using this tech. I’d love to see Glowforge innovate in this space.

I saw this earlier tonight. Quite intriguing. Thanks for the share.

I’d love to glavo heads for the pro units and then a bit later more powerful new units.
I’m afraid that we are now the same place with prosumer lasers as we are with 3d printers, If you haven’t done something with “shock and awe” in the last 2 years you become an “also played”.
I’m on my third 3d printer since ordering my GF Pro with this last one being what I consider a full generation more capable than the first two.

Indeed! I have a huge 3D printer like that and donated a massive CNC. Paid a huge price, got very hard or impossible to use machine at a super high price.
