Laser Engraving Machines for Schools, Universities, and Fablabs

Easy to use with wood, plastic, cardboard, glass, stone and more!

Laser engraving machines are a must-have in schools nowadays. Laser machines are not only used as a tool in the design of boxes and the making of prototypes; we’re also increasingly seeing complete teaching packages written around them. Experience with the lasers gives students enough experience to get started and sets them up for success in the future.

Technology in the Classroom

Everything around us contains technology, and that means technology is an important part of curriculum in secondary schools, MBOs and universities. Through interactive lessons with a laser system, conceptual ideas from students can be developed into real models or prototypes. There are different types of laser machines varying in size, laser source and power. Are you curious which laser system best suits your lessons? Download the brochure now and receive a free sample!

It’s Easy to Work with the Laser

Laser engraving and cutting machines are suitable for students of all ages. Our laser engraving and cutting machines work like a printer. This makes it very easy to send digital designs to the laser, allowing students to get started quickly and independently. This can be done from various software programs such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, open source programs, and more. You can also set the laser machine as a wireless network printer to make it even easier to use.

High Quality Laser Machines

Epilog Laser has 30 years of experience in designing and producing CO2 and fiber laser machines and offers the best quality laser engraving systems. Because our CO2 and fiber lasers have an air-cooled metal/ceramic laser tube, the cutting and engraving quality is top-notch. As a result, our high quality laser cutting and engraving machines are widely used for education in schools, universities and fablabs. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has even recommended our reliable laser systems in their must-have tool list.

Why a Laser Machine?

Laser engraving machines ensure innovation in education. With the speed and precision of an Epilog Laser, projects are easy to implement and students will participate enthusiastically in the lessons. The thought process is triggered in different ways; the laser machine can be a tool in a larger project, or it can be a subject all on its own. With the myriad possibilities, an Epilog Laser is suitable for any school, university or fablab.

Renew the Learning Environment with a Laser Machine

Prepare your students optimally for the future and offer them a professional laser engraving machine with which they can easily work independently. Request our brochure for more information and receive a free sample.
