Why Invest in a LaserCAM System?

Lasers are about the simplest way possible to get from CAD drawing to finished product. They work with extraordinary accuracy and delicacy, are quick to produce results, and the finished edge is usually just that – finished. With a few important exceptions, lasers will cut and engrave a huge variety of materials, so just about every area of Design and Technology is able to get the benefit. LaserCAM is, essentially, a 2D machine so it will find its place alongside milling and knife cutting machines, to give students a realistic experience of real-world practice, and to give them the right mix of tools for specific applications.

The TechSoft Advantage

TechSoft have an exclusive arrangement to supply LaserCAM to the UK Education and we work closely with the manufacturers to ensure that the machines meet all necessary standards for price, safety and quality. TechSoft have developed features in 2D Design V2 to make output direct and seamless - LaserCAM is the only laser cutting and engraving machine on the market to have this ‘designed-in’ compatibility. TechSoft will install your machine, provide training, and be your first point of contact in case of a problem, so any issues will be dealt with quickly. We are proud of our reputation for excellent customer service and person-to-person contact is an important feature of this. In addition, you will have unlimited access to technical support by phone, letter or email.

So What Can I Cut With a LaserCAM?

Apart from metals and vinyls, most workshop plastics, textiles and graphic materials are fine. Some timber products give inconsistent results due to density, or the resins used in manufacture. There’s no harm in experimenting with ‘stock’ material but for reliable results TechSoft supply laser-quality plywood and MDF in a range of thicknesses. Suitable material up to 12 - 15mm thick will cut well and the power of the laser will largely dictate speed of cut rather than ultimate depth. It is difficult to compare cutting speeds ‘on paper’ between different models of laser cutter. Suffice to say that LaserCAMs are among the most capable in their class.

Extraction System

TechSoft supply the best extraction and filtration systems available in the EXT-2 and EXT-3 units. These remove all particulate and volatile waste to HEPA standards so exhaust is clean and safe to vent internally. Despite this, TechSoft strongly advise ‘best practice’ is followed and that exhaust is vented to atmosphere as a precaution.
