To celebrate the 4th of July, we decided to create this uniquely designed PiBurn - made in very limited quantities, just for 4th of July 2021. Take a look at the video here:  At LensDigital, we are laser focused on the success of our customers. We obsess about design and detail that make the PiBurn so unique in the market for rotaries. But for the 4th of July, we wanted to do something really special. While the PiBurn is already the best looking rotary out there, this special version is truly a work of art. Coated metal parts are then laser engraved with an image of an eagle and resemble the star spangled flag of our great nation. You can get one yourself, while supplies last We salute the great men in women in uniform who sacrifice so much for our freedoms and liberties. Happy 4th of July everyone!   LensDigital team  

We weren't sure if we can actually engrave this really bug tumbler/water bottle on PiBurn. Especially since it has this large handle that can't be removed. But we managed to engrave it with no issues. In addition in this video we go over important setup of PiBurn, we show from A to Z how to setup image and settings in Lightburn.  

You might already know how versatile PiBurn Rotary Attachment is, but did you know that it can also make Popcorn?

For several months now I've been working on a new device: a Vacuum Table for Laser Cutters and Engravers.   The main purpose of a vacuum table is to hold FLAT thin stock during engraving and cutting. It works well with things like cardstock, leather, thin plywood and acrylic. When laser cutting/engraving such objects, it has to stay still and it has to stay flat. To achieve this, various clamping methods are used, but they are usually very clunky and get in the way of the laser beam, limiting the work area of the material. A Vacuum table holds the object from underneath it, letting you work with all the whole surface. You might be familiar with vacuum tables used for CNC milling, but those mostly use some kind of external vacuum source. I've seen some DIY vacuum tables for lasers that also use regular vacuum cleaner, but these are less than ideal. During cutting or engraving, the laser burns a portion of material creating a very foul smelling and nauseating (and sometimes toxic!) fumes. Lasers usually have exhaust and filtration systems to dispose of those pesky fume offenders. So, the main idea behind our vacuum table is that it is completely self contained. No external suction source is required. The vacuum is generated by several small but extremely powerful motors and fans built into the unit and powered by a dedicated DC power supply. Fumes stay inside laser machine, utilizing the existing fume extraction path. Our vacuum table is made mostly with aluminum parts, especially in places where laser beam comes in contact with device. Most CO2 lasers do not burn metal (except for some specific high power machines) so nothing gets damaged. Our current pre-production prototype can create over 2.2 lbs of holding force which is sufficient to flatten 1/8" plywood if it was warped. Work is still happening as we are finalizing the design. Please keep checking our website and Facebook page for more updates! We'll announce when vacuum table will be available at our store.
