Using a blue laser diode running at ~1.1 watts. capable of melting plastic and cutting it. Tested with plastic from CD DVD Cases. The mechanism is based on DVD drives, Using SparkFun easy stepper driver for controlling them. Then EMC for instruction on how to cut. The system is designed to connect to a parallel printing port on a machine. Then it takes 12VDC 2Amps for motor control. Laser runs at 4vdc 1.6amps. Feed rate for laser is 150. It can only cut a 38mm x 38mm area with precision of 5 micrometers +-
