Why is it a “Historic Breakthrough”?
For a long time, a 100W CO₂ laser cutter meant:
- Expensive: usually $7,000–$15,000.
- Bulky: almost impossible to place in a home or studio.
- Complicated installation: required engineers to align optics.
- Off-limits for homes and classrooms.
Most makers, Etsy sellers, small factories, and schools were stuck between two choices:
- Buy a desktop 40W/60W laser: cheaper, but can’t cut thick material.
- Outsource production: costly, slow, and dependent on others.
The Tyvok K1 finally changes this reality:
- Starts at just $2,299, far cheaper than industrial machines.
- Modular design: fits through any 300mm doorway.
- Pre-aligned and sealed optics: no manual adjustments needed.
- Modular expansion: upgrade bed size as your business grows.
For the first time, 100W industrial power is accessible in homes, studios, and classrooms.
