REPLICATING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF AN INDUSTRIAL LASER CUTTER ON A LOW-COST HOME-BUILT SYSTEM (PDF). Thanks Freddie!

I have just got the results from this project I submitted as an A-Level project in the UK and got an A* for it, so though I would share it here!

  2. At first I thought it was the DIYLILCNC v1 that was demonstrated at Siggraph a few years ago but he said it is a MIT based system. Anyway, the DIYLILCNC is opensource and they just released plans for v1.0.2 over at http://diylilcnc.org/ You can also buy kits from them.
