We have a passion for digital creation and making easy-to-use and affordable tools for makers and designers. Almost 2,500 backers helped us successfully raise $1.6M on Kickstarter for our first 3D printer, FLUX Delta, back in 2014. Having received numerous requests from our users for a more accessible laser cutter, we decided to take on this challenge and dove into the world of laser technology. After gaining substantial manufacturing experience from designing and manufacturing a 3D printer from scratch, we launched Beambox and Beambox Pro, two laser cutters that are powerful and intuitive.
Now, in pursuit of the same goal we’ve had since day one, we’re using our experience from FLUX Delta and Beambox to make something that will take digital creation to the next level. beamo is the laser cutter for everyone.
