The FLUX series includes FLUX beamo, FLUX beambox, and FLUX beambox Pro. Among them, the beambox laser engraver utilizes 40W CO2 laser technology, generating a high-power laser through discharge. With a wavelength of up to 10640nm, it allows for high-speed engraving. Furthermore, its laser cutting function can directly cut materials such as wood, acrylic, leather, and cardboard.

The lion engraved with the FLUX beambox laser engraver precisely reproduces the expression in its eyes, dense fur, and facial contours, with clear light and dark contrasts. It was completed in just 20 minutes. On the surface of the finished wooden board, intricate engraved patterns can be seen and felt. Despite its desktop size, it achieves industrial-grade engraving quality.

The FLUX beambox has high laser output and larger laser dots, resulting in a bold, powerful, and slightly coarser engraving finish. Engraving on wood creates a refined wood carving art piece. Its hinged structure ensures safety and stable operation during use, and it also features a laser cutting function. This is a very attractive creative tool that can be introduced with a budget of around 50,000 yen!

The Snapmaker series comes in three sizes: Snapmaker A150, A250, and A350. They primarily use blue laser engraving technology, which has a relatively low laser output and takes longer to engrave. However, this results in finer laser dots and a more detailed finish closer to the original photo. The finished surface is also smooth, with less noticeable engraving marks.
