Affordable Laser Cutter

MY-Laser CNC v2

The MY-Laser CNC project started as a solution to an industrial challenge at my workplace. Over time, it evolved into an open-source project that I am now sharing with the community. This laser cutter is designed to be affordable, accessible, and customizable, making it perfect for makers, small businesses, and DIY enthusiasts.

With a 30W diode laser, an ESP32-based control system, and Wi-Fi & USB connectivity, the MY-Laser CNC provides a powerful and user-friendly laser engraving and cutting experience.
