Opt Lasers leads in innovation by being the first to integrate a superfast laser diode driver directly into the cutting and engraving laser head. The built-in driver, the heart of the laser head, ensures enhanced protection for the laser diode. As a manufacturer of laser diode drivers, Opt Lasers has leveraged years of experience to create a highly efficient driver with low power consumption and minimal heat production. This makes using the cutting and engraving lasers at high speeds feasible, even for small details or tight radius turns, thanks to the driver's ability to process all necessary signals swiftly. Moreover, with a maximum driver current of 6A, operating it at 3-4A ensures longevity and reliability, providing an offset for extended driver life.

Great for Creating Detailed Models
I build scale models as a hobby, and adding the PLH3D-XT8 laser to my X-Carve was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve used it to cut out detailed parts from thin plywood and acrylic, and the accuracy is just phenomenal. The laser allows me to cut precise, small parts that I couldn’t easily achieve with traditional methods. I also use it for engraving tiny details on the model pieces, and the results are always sharp and clean. It’s really expanded what I can do with my CNC machine, and I love how easy it is to switch between engraving and cutting modes depending on what I need. This laser is a must-have for any model builder looking to add intricate details to their work!
