PLH3D-Series Laser Heads are designed for laser engraving and laser cutting applications, for industrial, service and hobby uses. Our laser heads stand out with their small dimensions, long life, sturdy and user-friendly design as well as resistance to pollution and damage. What’s more, PLH3D-Series laser cutters and engravers can be mounted on almost any CNC router and CNC machine.
PLH3D-Series engraving laser heads are designed to process materials such as wood, plywood, balsa, cardboard, paper, leather, ceramics, stone, rubber, plastics and foams.
These blue laser heads also work well for marking and engraving stainless steel, tool steel, carbon steel and Titanium.

Avid CNC Router Parts
PRO CNC line features a unique large-format machine design that integrates high-performance components, like profile linear guides, precision ballscrews, and our PRO rack and pinion drive system, on a modular platform that provides you with the flexibility to scale and expand your machines along with your production needs (and physical space) as they grow over time. A large selection of versions ensures that it also fits into your Workshop space.
Bulkman WorkBee
The WorkBee CNC design has gone through various changes. WorkBee Version 1 originally had leadcrews located in the compression. All WorkBee kits sold by Bulk Man 3D are the latest version, and the main differences are the use of a Tingle tensioning system and longer leadcrews in the X and Y axes. This helps solve the problem of Whipping when for long length or faster speed, which is very common in the CNC machine market.
