Laser cutting mainly used to be the purview of hard-headed business owners with solid financial backing and a business plan to make sure the laser paid for its upkeep. And there were hobbyists who were more interested in the arts and crafts side of laser cutting and saw the laser as a tool for cutting and engraving materials such as wood, cloth, and acrylics in the scope of their arts and crafts projects. The trouble was, many people were more than a little worried about the Heath Robinson-style, low-budget lasers they could purchase at the time. The foundations of the laser world were to be shaken though, when FLUX – an organization founded by a “group of passionate young engineers and designers,” as the manufacturer itself states – launched the Beambox laser cutting machine back in 2018. FLUX quickly followed up with the beamo, promoted as “the world’s smallest laser cutting machine” the next year.
