Following closely behind the rising trend of affordable desktop 3D printers on the consumer market, laser engraving technology has become more accessible and plentiful than ever. There are cheap standalone laser engraving machines, all-in-one 3D printers that can engrave as well as extrude, and all-around growing interest in desktop-size machines that fit in the home, office, or cluttered maker space.
Unfortunately, affordability doesn’t always amount to quality. Many laser engravers make bold claims but leave a weak mark on the materials they’re aiming to inscribe. Some manufacturers, such as Ortur, have managed to manufacture a fleet of laser engravers that pass the quality test without the high price tag.
The latest hardware innovation to come from Ortur is the Laser Master 2 Pro, a new and improved laser engraver that builds off of the previous Laser Master 2 model. After nine months of intensive research and development, Ortur succeeded in developing a machine that boasts improvements in nearly every way.
Best of all, these recent advancements don’t come at a steep price increase. For just $449.99, makers of all experience levels can get their creative fingers on the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro, a laser engraver that is speedy, safe to use, and promises an accurate and stress-free engraving process.
And, for a very limited time, Ortur has an exclusive early bird offer just for All3DP’s readers. The company is giving away a free YRR 2.0 – a rotary roller for cylinder engraving – to the first 5 people who purchase the Laser Master 2 Pro. Valued at $67.99, this complimentary module will provide an instant upgrade to this high-powered laser engraver.
To claim this offer, leave a comment on this article with your order number after you order the Laser Master 2 Pro from the Ortur store. If you’re one of the first five to do so, Ortur will send the YRR 2.0 rotary roller to you free of charge.
If this offer isn’t enough to entice those in need of an affordable and highly capable laser engraver, here’s some more information on the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro.
Compared to its predecessor, the Laser Master 2 Pro is optimized in nearly every way imaginable. Equipped with an OLM-PRO-V10 motherboard and 32-bit MCU +24V circuit, this engraver offers higher performance than most laser engravers at the same price point. The two primary improvements that have put the Laser Master 2 Pro on a higher pedestal include:
Speed: The new Ortur Laser 1.5 series firmware, for example, features an optimized motion algorithm that enables the Laser Master 2 Pro to reach engraving speeds of up to 10,000 millimeters per minute. Overall, the engraving speed of the Pro edition is twice as fast as the original Laser Master 2, all without sacrificing the quality of the final product.
Accuracy: The laser itself has a focal spot that is a quarter the size of an average lasers’ focal spot, making it capable of engraving at an accuracy of 0.08mm*0.15mm. Photo-realistic details are easily achievable with the 12-bit precision PWM control signal, which offers more than 1000 different grayscale possibilities.
Those aren’t the only tricks that the Laser Master 2 Pro has up its sleeve. A number of other enhancements have also been made under the hood. For instance, there’s a great amount of flexibility when it comes to power options, ranging from 1W to 40W. This means that even boards as thick as 9mm don’t pose any problems to this potent laser engraver.
Ortur has also prioritized safety in its latest laser engraver with a number of new features, making it safe even for the home workshop. The laser is programmed to stop under a number of unforeseen circumstances. If the computer crashes during the engraving process or if the engraver is displaced or starts to tilt, for instance, the machine stops functioning.
With these safety features, you can rest assured that the Laser Master 2 Pro won’t malfunction if you take your eyes off it for a moment. Additionally, if you even need to bring the engraver to an immediate halt, there’s an emergency stop button that will manually stop the process.
The Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro has also been tried and tested to ensure that it can handle everyday use. This specific laser engraver has gone through more than 8 rounds of testing by the in-house engineering team and a group of beta testers.
According to the manufacturer, the towline-covered cable has proven that it’s capable of withstanding more than 5,000,000 bends during its lifespan. The machine itself is engineered with buckle in wire connection, high-quality flexible cables, and wire-protecting chains to keep the engraving process consistent no matter how often it’s used.
Makers will be pleased to know that the Ortur Laser Master 2 Pro, along with all of the manufacturer’s other engravers, are tested and fully accessible with Laser, a popular open-source laser control software that is both free and easy to use.
Ortur also makes it a point to integrate modularity into its hardware. In addition to the YRR 2.0 rotary roller, which is free for the first five All3DP readers who purchase the Laser Master 2 Pro, there are plenty of add-ons that will enhance your laser engraving capabilities. Other accessories include an Ortur Controller for offline control and a CNC Z-Axis Lifting Device that helps adjust the laser’s focal spot.
Since launching its first laser engraver back in 2018, Ortur has continued on its mission to make professional-grade laser engraving accessible to makers, hobbyists, small businesses, and other professionals looking to harness the power of this technology.
The manufacturer boasts its potential through use cases that Ortur witnessed since the early days, from the winery that used the Laser Master 2 to etch their Chateau brand on barrels to a cafe owner who utilized laser engraving to advertise their business around town.
Now, after selling over 150,000 units of the Laser Master 2 across the globe, Ortur has returned with the new and improved Laser Master 2 Pro. Whether you’re an everyday hobbyist or a frugally-minded maker or designer, this laser engraver packs a powerful punch at an incredibly affordable price.
