Muse laser cutter canada full#

The Full Spectrum Muse has an external cooling system – it sits outside the laser, and requires extra space to store on your workshop.

The Glowforge’s cooling pump is a closed-loop internal system, saving space on your desk and generally keeping your small business workshop or home studio clearer. Both the Glowforge and Muse have systems to keep their device cool, with the Glowforge Pro having a Peltier cooler, involving pumping liquid through the laser to soak up heat. Powerful Co2 lasers get hot when used, and need cooling systems to prevent any dangers or errors during your job. Glowforge say their machines engrave at up to 1355 dpi, slightly better, with a positioning precision of up to 0.001″. The FSL Muse offers 1000 dpi – fairly standard for prosumer laser cutting. So if you’re planning on cutting out large pieces of wood for your Etsy shop – such as signs, or topographic maps – the Muse might not fit your needs. Glowforge Pro’s larger 20″ x unlimited length engraving and cutting area really adds to the range of laser projects you can create.īy contrast, the Laser Spectrum Muse doesn’t have the same length, at 12″. While we’ve discussed their similar power outputs, there are subtle differences.

Glowforge vs Muse Compared: The Main Differences Cutting and Engraving Neither can cut metal – you’ll need a far more industrial laser cutter for these uses. They engrave and cut mostly the same materials – woods, acrylic, and engraving metals are what you’d really expect in this price range. While the default Glowforge Pro packs 5W more than the 40W Muse Core Desktop Laser, you can buy the Muse with an upgraded 45W tube type for an extra $250 and draw level with the Glowforge’s power. They’re both CO2 lasers, both two popular laser cutters, and both carry similar power.
