TechSoft LaserCAM Star Series

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 Star 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.

TechSoft have an exclusive arrangement to supply LaserCAM Star and we work closely with the manufacturers to ensure that the machines meet all necessary standards for price, safety and quality. 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 or email.

For well over a decade TechSoft have been supplying the LaserCAM Star Range (formerly just known as LaserCAM). These machines are high quality machines with air-cooled metal CO₂ laser tubes. TechSoft have developed features in TechSoft Design V3 (formerly 2D Design V2) to make output direct and seamless. LaserCAM Star is the only laser air cooled cutting and engraving machine on the market to have this ‘designed-in’ compatibility. Although initially more expensive, our experience finds that the tubes last for on average around seven years so longevity is assured.

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.

A TechSoft LaserCAM Star package is supplied and installed with everything you need so laser cutting and engraving can start right away. TechSoft have been supplying LaserCAM Star to schools for over twelve years and remain committed to providing the best technology and the highest level of service needed to secure your investment for the long term.
