Boss Laser Cutter/Engraver
A laser cutter is a tool used to cut and etch into flat material. Laser cutters use a focused laser beam to cut out patterns. Laser cutters can also etch designs onto pieces by heating the surface of the piece. A laser cutter is controlled by a computer using design software. Laser cutters can be used to cut materials like wood, some plastics, paper and cardboard.
