Lasersaur Manual

Lasersaur

The Lasersaur is an open source laser cutter with outstanding price-performance ratio. We designed it to fill the need of makers, designers, architects and researchers who want a safe and highly-capable machine. Unlike others it comes fully loaded with knowledge to run, maintain, and modify.

What can it cut?	Material Rundown Video
How can I get one?	Read the starter page. Order parts. Follow the step-by-step build guide.
Who has already built a 'saur?	Lot of us! Hacker spaces all over the world. Students at CMU, NYU, MIT, ETH et al. Designers and Architects.
Who started it?	We did.
