Co2 laser design

Project goals:

1. maximize cutting area to footprint ratio
2. scalable design if desired
3. support multiple laser tube sizes currently 40w to 100w (with frame extension)
4. construction with off the shelf parts and minimal tooling
5. complex parts are 3d printed.

current design:

3x MGN12 linear rails for X and Y motion.

Z motion is achieved with a hand wheel and 4 AMCE lead screws. (power z modification is easily done)

Z travel is about 100mm (this can be easily extended as well)

frame and gantry are made from 2020 and 2040 t-slot extrusions.

cutting area dimensions are 820mm x 550mm with a full width passthrough slot in the Y direction

the .zip file contains the current .stp of the full assembly.

PROJECT IS NOT FULLY COMPLETE NOT ALL PURCHASED PARTS ARE IN THE ASSEMBLY, BOM IS NOT COMPLETE rough estimate on project cost is $1k-$1500

if you want to build one of these please dont hesitate to contact me if you need assistance im more than happy to answer questions and provide help.
