FLUX, a renowned Taiwanese laser cutter manufacturer, has found a sweet spot on the increasingly popular market. Gaining recognition with its all-in-one 3D printer and laser engraver on Kickstarter back in 2015, FLUX has since delivered a variety of engravers and cutters that offer professional capabilities at a modest price.  In fact, the company has raised over 1.64 million from backers across the globe – one of the top 3 records in 3D printing.

Last year, FLUX  introduced a flurry of products with the FLUX Beam Series, a trio of laser engravers: FLUX beamo, FLUX Beambox and FLUX Beambox Pro. This product series included an option for everyone from budget-minded markers to semi-professionals, covering every spectrum of the maker and hobbyist market.

Now, FLUX is aiming for full-fledged professionals with its latest laser cutter: FLUX HEXA. Engineered to tackle professional applications and fulfill various business needs, this high-powered laser cutter and engraver is a next-level machine from the FLUX team.

The name of this new machine, HEXA, stands for the six sides of high-quality performance and product features that the FLUX team feels is the next-level for its brand. Compared to its FLUX Beam Series, the HEXA enables professionals and small businesses to increase manufacturing and production capabilities through better hardware and software, along with upgraded usability and safety features.

“FLUX HEXA, with significant Hardware & Software upgrades, helps businesses and creators enjoy a high-quality laser cutter at an affordable rate, and run their engraved-based workflows without interruption,” says Simon Ko, Founder and CEO at FLUX Inc.

FLUX HEXA brings power, speed, safety, and more to professionals and small-to-medium sized businesses in need of a more capable laser engraver/cutter. Let’s take a deeper dive and break down the features and pricing of this new machine.

FLUX HEXA Packs Premium Features in a Professional Machine

There are many upgraded features that put the FLUX HEXA on the professional-grade pedestal, the most noteworthy being the incredibly strong 60W laser power and zippy 900mm/s engraving speed. With this high-powered laser wattage, this machine is able to achieve a maximum work area depth of up to 125 millimeters, while reaching high speeds without sacrificing engraving accuracy.  Additionally, HEXA’s 1,000 DPI high resolution can achieve delicate engraving details and is able to cut 10mm depending on the material.

Compared to the FLUX Beambox Pro, the professional model from the FLUX Beam Series, HEXA offers a larger working area – 33% increase to be exact – along with a more extensive lifespan. According to FLUX, the lifespan of HEXA laser tubes are approximately 10,000 hours, providing a long-lasting experience for professional users.

HEXA is equipped with autofocus that can easily focus to optimized platform height. The engraver also leverages a built-in cleaning slot to provide easy and efficient cleaning for the end-user.

When it comes to utilizing laser cutting or engraving in the professional setting, safety and usability are of the utmost importance. FLUX designed the HEXA laser cutter with this in mind, implementing a number of safety features into its easy-to-operate machine.

HEXA is equipped with integrated water cooling for the laser, fire containment mechanisms, and a ventilation fan to handle laser exhaust and eliminate unpleasant odors. There are also fully integrated safety sensors that alert users in case of unplanned movement, over heated temperature warning and fire alarm.

With its powerful laser and features to match, FLUX HEXA is highly capable when it comes to heavy duty tasks. It’s compatible with a wide array of materials for makers to create, including wood, cardboard, fabric, glass, acrylic, leather, metal, stone, tile, and others.

Alongside the hardware improvements seen in the FLUX HEXA, FLUX has also upgraded its laser cutting and engraving software, Beam Studio. Fully developed in-house, Beam Studio enables users to fully control and adjust the laser machine. This software also offers a web interface with Chromebook and iPad, broadening the compatibility with its machines.

FLUX HEXA may be labeled simply as a professional machine, but it’s suitable for a wide range of users, including small-to-medium sized businesses and enterprises, corporate makers and creators, schools, as it allows students to experience cutting-edge technology while still being easy to use and anyone else looking to level up their production capabilities with a more powerful and easy-to-use laser cutter and engraver.

Available across online and offline retail channels, pricing for the FLUX HEXA will start at $6,995. The early bird sale will launch for customers in the United States and Canada on March 8, 2023 to April 23,2023. FLUX will offer 10% off the HEXA, bringing the price from $6,995 to $6,295.50.
